Description Andrew Gunnerson 2023-07-19 06:25:18 UTC

Historically, I believe libheif was only in the RPMFusion repos because it originally only supported HEIF (patent-encumbered) images. However, now that it supports AVIF (free format), libheif exists in the main Fedora repos.

Would it be possible to enable kimageformats' support for that library? In my local testing, adding libheif-devel as a build dependency and passing in the -DKIMAGEFORMATS_HEIF=ON CMake option seems to do the trick.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

I just did a dnf upgrade and saw that 5.108.0-2 did exactly this. Sorry about the noise!
