gdk-pixbuf was integrated into gtk2 a while ago, but was split out again now. gdk-pixbuf2 can coexist with gdk-pixbuf1. This pkg conflicts with the current gtk2 pkg, but since it will be low in the dependency tree once deployed it would be good to see bulk build results before gtk2 is updated to 2.22 which will require it.

GdkPixbuf is a new GNOME library designed to solve part of Imlib's
|
|
design limitations that make it hard to write efficient and highly
|
|
modular applications. The GdkPixbuf library provides a basic,
|
|
reference counted structure called GdkPixbuf. This structure points
|
|
to a block of image data, has fields that describe the format of the
|
|
image data, and also contains a reference count. The library also
|
|
provides a simple mechanism for loading images from files, and a more
|
|
sophisticated mechanism for loading images progressively from
|
|
arbitrary buffers. It also provides utility functions to transform
|
|
pixbufs and render them to GDK drawables.
|
|
|
|
The GdkPixBuf library provides a number of features:
|
|
* Image loading facilities.
|
|
* Rendering of a GdkPixBuf into various formats:
|
|
drawables (windows, pixmaps), GdkRGB buffers.
|
|
|
|
This is the gtk 2 version of gdk-pixbuf. It got
|
|
included natively in gtk2+ and was split out again in revision 2.22.
