Summary

Xlib data types.

This library was originally shipped by gdk-pixbuf2, and has

since been moved out of the original repository.

No newly written code should ever use this library.

If your existing code depends on gdk-pixbuf2-xlib, then you're strongly

encouraged to port away from it.

gdk-pixbuf2 2.42.2 release, fixing CVE-2021-20240 and CVE-2020-29385. This

update also includes new gdk-pixbuf2-xlib package that was split out from gdk-pixbuf2 to its own source rpm. The gdk-pixbuf2-xlib and gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-devel

binary package names are identical to what they were before the split.
