Use pillow instead of python-imaging

[Mario Blättermann]

I'm maintaining Pogo packages for Fedora and RHEL (extra packages). Recently I've got a message from the Fedora packaging team that PIL no longer will be available in future distribution releases [1]. They want to use Pillow instead [2].

Seems that it provides almost the same functions as python-imaging, but I have to patch the sources anyway. An appropriate patch is already avialable [3]. Please consider to commit it to your version control system. As far as I can see, there are no further changes needed for packages on distributions where python-imaging is still present.

Thanks for reporting this. I already fixed it in trunk.

May we expect an updated tarball next time? Then it would be unneeded to update the Fedora package. The dependency change affects Rawhide only, which becomes a new release even in a few months.

[Jendrik Seipp (jendrikseipp)]

Yes, I think I'll release a new minor version soon.

The new version has just been released.
