submitting units

[Schala]

I was wondering if there was a way to submit units I made to a sort of component repository? It isn't for Lazarus but rather FCL-Image extras (support for more image formats). I don't know whether or not the FCL subversion admins want code for extra format support for FCL-Image. If not, I'd like to know where I can make my code available? I have it on Github at the moment but that's the extent.

If it's an enhancement, then it belongs to the core source. Create a report in the bugtracker attaching patch to the trunk (as new as possible expected) you're enhancing.

I see. Does it count if it's a format that's more or less gone the way of the dodo? That is to say, the format I made support for is for the PlayStation 1 texture format.

You do realize that in trunk there is work done on 16-bit Dos and Amiga? We are used to dodos.

Fair enough. 16 BPP images are fine, but the 4/8 BPP images are being read incorrectly, and 24 BPP seems to have some anomalies according to the specs I've been reading:

My current code is licensed under GPL3 and can be found at https://github.com/Schala/fpc-units/blob/master/fcl-image/fpreadtim.pas though I will be changing it to a more suitable license if it's to be accepted into trunk.

Note that fcl-image is also supposed to work on big endian machines.

Submit a bugticket to get sb knowledgable about fcl-image to look at it.

I figured as much, hence the LEtoN function calls for almost every multibyte read from the stream.
