Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : vips7.10 Version : 7.10.x Upstream Author : John Cupitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk * License : LGPL Description : Image processing system good for very large images
VIPS is an image processing system designed with efficiency in mind. It is good with large images (images larger than the amount of RAM in your machine), and for working with colour. It can perform many image manipulation tasks much faster than other packages such as ImageMagick and the GIMP and includes some special features such as creating single "mosaic" images from multiple parts. . VIPS consists of two main components: an image processing library with some command-line tools, and a spreadsheet-like graphical user interface, available in the nip package. . This package includes runtime libraries needed to run applications linked with the vips library. Please note: vips7.10 is in beta at the moment, but is nearing the end of its beta period. I am the maintainer of vips7.8, which is the older stable version. As of this writing, vips7.8 has been uploaded as a new package but has not yet been added manually to the overrides file and is therefore not yet in unstable. vips7.10 is not expected to clear beta in time for Sarge. The current version of vips7.10 is 7.10.3, but the version I actually package will be a somewhat later version -- it will be the first version declared by upstream to not be beta. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
