Package Request: pngquant

[AntumDeluge]

Description:

(taken from pngquant.org)

pngquant is a command-line utility and a library for lossy compression of PNG images.

The conversion reduces file sizes significantly (often as much as 70%) and preserves full alpha transparency. Generated images are compatible with all web browsers and operating systems.

Features

• High-quality palette generation using a combination of vector quantization algorithms.
• Unique adaptive dithering algorithm that adds less noise to images than the standard Floyd-Steinberg.
• Easy to integrate with shell scripts, GUIs and server-side software.
• Fast mode for real-time processing/large numbers of images.

Notes:

libimagequant is the only dependency that I am aware of. I am not sure if it is included with pngquant's source. I only recently started using it.

I read over #1831 & saw that Arch for Termux was referenced. pngquant does not appear to be included with it (at least, I didn't find it), so I decided to make this package request.

If I felt that I would have the time soon, I would attempt compiling & create a pull request myself. But I honestly don't know when I would be able to get to it.

Also, there is a GUI Android app available called Atomize, but I would still like to have the command line utility.

I would add the Package Request label, but I guess I can't.

Edit: I just found the Termux Create Package repo. I may check this out & see if I can create the package myself if it's not too difficult... if I get time to do so.

Edit: Made a mistake. libpng is required too. Should have known that.

I can't get it to compile.

You can't compile,i can! It need a lot of concentration!

[AntumDeluge]

Ya. And how did you get your Android filesystem to support executables?

I have opened #1888. Thanks for the detailed request, helped a lot. I can provide deb file for testing if you specify your arch.

@vishalbiswas where is my credit?:weary:

[vishalbiswas]

@SamSanuch I didn't use gcc. Didn't see your Makefile. If you compared my pull request, there is nothing in common between our builds.

[AntumDeluge]

Thank you both very much!

[AntumDeluge]

Thanks a bunch! I have installed it, but probably won't be able to test it thoroughly until tomorrow.

Thanks to @vishalbiswas the package is now available for installation: pkg install pngquant.

[AntumDeluge]

Thank you all so much (yes, you too @SamSanuch 😉). Now I am able to run my scripts on Android.

@AntumDeluge thanks! I'll suggest you something? I think you'll probably love to use this rootfs this a collection of all new tools with extraordinary tools that Official repo not possess https://github.com/xeffyr/termux-rootfs

Thanks @SamSanuch, that does look interesting. It looks like it for 64-bit only though. If that's the case, I won't be able to try it out until I get a 64-bit Android OS. 😢
