Starting form libtiff v4.3 support for the LERC compression codec has been officially integrated into libtiff. LERC is a very interesting compressor and it is gaining a lot o momentum recently. Please consider to enable the LERC coded in the debian package for libtiff (v4.3.0~1 is currently in experimental). Kind regards -- Antonio Valentino
Dear Laszlo, would you accept a patch for this? kind regards antonio
Hi Antonio, I would be very impressed if you can do it with a patch only. Regards, Laszlo/GCS

I suspect it will take some time to be accepted because the queue is quite long in this moment. Do you see any other issue? kind regards

We finalized the symbol file and uploaded to unstable. Please note that liblerc only supports LE architectures. Is this an issue from your point of view? I have prepared a very small patch for libtiff. You can find it on salsa [1]. Please let me know if you prefer me to attach the patch file to this ticket directly.

Would be better if it supports all architectures. Is it hard to provide BE support? Thanks, I will test it. Cheers, Laszlo/GCS
Hi Laszlo, Il 08/12/21 19:23, László Böszörményi (GCS) ha scritto: there is no regression. If it is not the case I will need to change Arch: any to a long list of architectures. The problem is that LERC does not supports BE upstream. I agree with you, but, as I said before, BE is not supported upstream at the moment and an implementation could be tricky IMHO. So yes, I would say that it is hard to provide BE support in the near future. ciao
