Description
cgif is a performant GIF encoder library written in C. It is currently the primary library used by libvips (which is already packaged) for GIF encoding due to its high performance and built-in support for optimizations; however, Void currently attempts to use giflib for this purpose, which does not work because libvips does not detect or use giflib in any way (instead using a vendored libnsgif for decoding and either cgif or ImageMagick for encoding). This means that the only way to encode GIF files using libvips on Void is to use its ImageMagick module, which is magnitudes slower, heavier, and lacks features compared to the cgif-based implementation.
