Richard Shaw left as an exercise for the reader:
So the only problem I see is that notcurses depends on ffmpeg, which
is not
allowed in Fedora. I see it's technically "optional", but I wonder about
the usefulness of the resultant package without it.
ooh, I was unaware of this. FFmpeg is only used for
decoding/scaling images and video. An NCURSES-like level of
functionality is possible without it, one which will still
benefit from e.g. RGB color and multithreading safety.
I've been considering throwing another image-decoding backend
into the project, as FFmpeg draws in a huge dependency chain on
Debian as well. What's the preferred "kitchen sink" image
decoder these days? libimagemagick? What's recommended for
Fedora/Rawhide, if I ideally want to:
1) throw a file/memory buffer at the lib without having to know
anything about image format,
2) get 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA back, and
3) have it handle scaling?
It's technically possible to be sponsored at RPM Fusion first (I
was) but
it's not preferred. Perhaps one of your other projects could be submitted
here first?
I'm not sure I understand your meaning. Do you have a page I can
reference? Thanks!
