seq2gif converts a sequences record file generated by ttyrec into a
GIF animation without taking screenshots, using built-in terminal
emulation based on yaft (Yet Another Framebuffer Terminal).
I used seq2gif to produce the attached animated GIF, together with
misc/ttyref which is already in the ports tree. I could not find
any other tool in the ports tree which can do such conversions.
The dependencies are surprisingly minimal: This program only relies
on the standard C library and includes everything else. And it
compiles out of the box without any patches. What a rare gem!
The only problem is that the current maintainers are affected by the
github-induced lazyness epidemic, i.e. they have not shipped a release
in many years (since 2014). So I am using the current development state
instead, the latest commit from December 2020.
OK?
