I'm going to make this available at -ftp://ftp.onshore.com/pub/libtiff (as tiff-v3.4beta037-IPTC). - -I'm very reluctant to fork code, and I woud refrain, but for the following: - - 1. Repeated mail to you about the patches has gone unanswered. - - 2. I keep getting mail from people strugging to get IPTC newphoto support - to work properly with ImageMagick. - - 3. The NT source distibution was already shipping with a forked version. - -In order for the situation to be less confusing, I'm going to make an -archive of the forked version available. - -I very much would like for there not to be a fork. Are you still -maintaining libtiff? If not, is there a current maintainer? - -I'm willing to adopt it if there isn't. I'd hate to see such an -important library fragment. It's extremely likely that onShore -(http://onshore.com/), will donate web space, bandwidth, and listserv -services if so. - - - ------------------------------------------------------- -M. L.
