png2linuxlogo, version 1.02, 9 June 2002
This simple utility converts a PNG image of appropriate size and type to
the "full-color" logo format used by the Linux kernel. That is, it takes
an 80x80 palette PNG with 223 or fewer colors as input, and it creates a
replacement linux_logo.h file on stdout--but with only the linux_logo[]
data changed; the linux_logo_bw[] and linux_logo16[] data from the stock
logo header are used unchanged. The sample image is from my "pengbrew12"
virtual-beer logo submission of many years ago (in case it matters).
Changelog:
1.00 - 22 Sep 2001 - initial release
1.01 - 26 Sep 2001 - fixed to emit correct header file (asm/linux_logo.h,
not linux/linux_logo.h, oops); added 214-color-special-
case workaround
1.02 - 9 Jun 2002 - fixed to define __HAVE_ARCH_LINUX_LOGO (post-2.4.14
change; required at least as of 2.4.18); fixed typo in
usage screen and extended slightly
This program is too trivial and special-purpose to deserve a real makefile,
so just read the comments at the top of png2linuxlogo.c and edit one of
the compile lines to taste. Or use one of the included Linux/x86/glibc
binaries.

I don't really have any plans to develop this further, so don't expect
much in the way of support. (In particular, I will *not* be adding any
new image formats--that's what PBMPLUS/NetPBM are for.)
Go forth and...you know. Or not. Whatever. It's all good.
