Re: death of the gif format
Why no switch to GIFs that don't use the patented compression?
This was done in the mh-book package in the last upload (it had a
_lot_ of GIFs).
BTW, I asked another upstream author to consider switching. He
emailed back saying that he noticed Debian still used GIFs in our
webd page and we knew best. So he wasn't changing. I understand
the reason, but perhaps switching to non-compressed GIFs would be
okay?
