Yes, I think -3 is ready to upload; there's no need to futz with it
any more. Just let 'er rip.
As I sais earlier I didn't change the release for this very small
change, the url with the new files is still
http://www.lapo.it/tmp/libungif-4.1.0-2.tar.bz2
http://www.lapo.it/tmp/libungif-4.1.0-2-src.tar.bz2
So, shall I upload it now?
Well I don't think the main problem (using the small patch method is
difficult to patch it further) does apply there, as the program will
rarely get updated by his authors, if ever.
Even if patches were needed, I still think that complicating the script
to support something like "prep"/"prep2" would be way better that hiding
1k of "real" patches into 500k of "automatic" patches. People would have
an hard time knowing what actually needs to be patched and what is
automatically done relibtoolizing.
I would upload this as is.
