This is the note from dead.package:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package has known security issues, and I got no help from
upstream to solve them. In fact upstream is mostly silent / dead.
Therefore I have removed it from Fedora.
If you want to add the package back to Fedora, please note that
you are going to need to fix all the security problems and
take an active role in maintaining the package too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- New upstream version 3.0.1 and multiple build fixes for this.
- License is really LGPLv2 with the OCaml linking exception.
- Removed the DESTDIR patch.
- Build tiff support.
- Run it through rpmlint and fix all problems.
