FS#1642 - Patch libtiff to work with hylafax
|
Details
Hylafax requires a bugfix patch to libtiff 3.6.1 in order to
work properly. Otherwise, it will sometimes produce bad
tiffs without any warning, and smoke will begin to come out
of your ears until you figure out why.
Attached find the updated PKGBUILD and the patch, downloaded from the hylafax site and fixed so as to work. (It was originally a patch for "file.c.orig" to "file.c" and thus broken with the normal patch syntax. Maybe there's some flag that makes it work that way, I don't know..) |
This task depends upon

HOWEVER: Note that if you're using hylafax, it seems that on the whole, the patched 3.6.1 libtiff is still more reliable on the whole than v3.7.0, at least from what I've seen so far. Version 3.7.0 seems to break fax *sending* in certain circumstances which I haven't exactly pinned down yet.
