rei $ dpkg -l | grep "3.10a-27" ii xv 3.10a-27 An image viewer and manipulator for the X Wi ii xv-doc 3.10a-27 XV Documentation in Postscript and HTML form I have built the last package from Potato (-26) against the then current unstable (back at 9 Feb 2003) with no apparent problems. xv (3.10a-27) unstable; urgency=low * Rebuilt to get rid of xlib6g dependency * fixed most of ./patches-upstream, which were not applying * added tiff1200.patch * added bmp32.patch * added pdf.patch * added croppad.patch * added gif.patch * added aspect-resize.patch from http://shh.thathost.com/patches/ * added wheelmouse.patch from http://www.coara.or.jp/~sudakyo/DAS_Works/Graphic/ * added dirwkey.patch from http://www.coara.or.jp/~sudakyo/DAS_Works/Graphic/ * added printkey.patch from http://www.coara.or.jp/~sudakyo/DAS_Works/Graphic/ -- Marc Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 09 Feb 2003 17:58:22 -0800 I just wish I could distribute it. :) But it's really not hard for anyone with a little time to fix up. This will work: # unofficial xv source deb-src http://debian.uni-essen.de/misc/local/ theo-phys local And you can see where to get the patches. :) There are binary debs there too, but I didn't care about them as they're the Potato ones. Maybe it's just that I used xv before I used anything else, but all the "free" image viewers make me crazy. -- Marc Wilson | "Live or die, I'll make a million." -- Reebus [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Kneebus, before his jump to the center of the earth, | Firesign Theater -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
