upstream does not support openexr_3 yet: LuminanceHDR/LuminanceHDR#244. This doesn't look good, although there is a patch to try if we want to keep it alive a bit longer.

Hm, I don‘t mind trying the patch, but honestly – last release is 6 years old, think its dead Jim. There will just be more problems down the line.

Not sure how many users we have for it, I don’t want to take it away from them. If we do it, I am for keeping it at this only patch and ditching it as soon as more problems arise. I will give it a look, if it simply works with the patch, then lets use it, else I will remove it due not longer being maintained.

I'll try the gentoo patch mentioned in the upstream issue, but I'm not a user of this package, so I don't mind removing it or making it as broken either.

[autra]

In fact, it's not just this patch, gentoo maintains 10 (!) patches, and arch 4, and upstream has no active fork. It's more effort that I'm willing to put into a software I don't even use 😅

Closing this one. I'll mark it as broken when openexr2 is removed.

Fully agree. Many thanks for looking into this.
