#+TITLE: Library as a Gem - libtiff
#+LATEX: \pagebreak

* Overview

  ~laag-libtiff~ packages [[https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff][libtiff]] as a Ruby Gem, using [[https://github.com/colstrom/laag][laag]].

* Updating this Package

  This gem uses Brett Langdon's excellent [[https://github.com/brettlangdon/git-vendor][git-vendor]] for managing the vendored
  library. Updating is as simple as:

  #+BEGIN_SRC shell
    git-vendor update libtiff Release-v4-0-9
  #+END_SRC

  So fork, clone, run that command, and submit a Pull Request.

* Versioning

  This gem does not conform to Semantic Versioning. Rather, it defers to the
  versioning of the vendored library, with an additional digit indicating the
  number of packaging-related commits. This is a deliberate choice, so that
  version constraints in dependent libraries may be expressed in terms of the
  vendored library, and packaging details ignored.

* License

  This gem adopts the license used by the vendored library. See =LICENSE.txt=
  for the full text.
