Upstream did give good reasons for embedding the library (and changing it), he also was, and still is, willing to incorporate his changes into the official library. The problem is that I and upstream have no response from the official library Authors. It has been dormant for 3 years now. Additionally viewnior will drop the support for their fork around April. I think it is worth uploading viewnior now anyway. If you somebody could sponsor the upload I would be grateful. All distros have this great image browser but we. -- Pozdrawiam, Dariusz Dwornikowski, Assistant Institute of Computing Science, Poznań University of Technology www.cs.put.poznan.pl/ddwornikowski/ room 2.7.2 BTiCW | tel. +48 61 665 29 41
