Headsup: new soname changing ImageMagick heading for F-10

04-27-2008, 07:50 PM

Hi All,

I've recently become a co-maintainer of ImageMagick and after this new build
hits rawhide, the open bug count on ImageMagick drops from 24 to 1 (a switch to
NSS as cryptolib bug).

Unfortunately the latest upstream releases changes the locations of header
files (pkg-config users should be fine) and changes the library names from:

libMagick -> libMagickCore
libWand -> libMagickWand

So any packages using the ImageMagick libs will need to be rebuild.

Here is the list from repoquery:
[hans@localhost devel]$ repoquery -q --whatrequires 'libMagick.so.10()(64bit)'
'libWand.so.10()(64bit)' 'libMagick++.so.10()(64bit)'|sort |uniq

A reporter called Sammy, who has requested this update has been so kind to
provide patches for many of these to fix them building with the new
ImageMagick, see:

Just curious; will this new version allow us to do some basic
splitting so that packages like Mediawiki won't depend on X libraries?
Currently the console applications like convert are linked against X.

No I'm afraid not, but thats a good question so I've forwarded it upstream, as
upstream sofar has been very helpful.

Hmm, but we're in F-9 freeze. Are these rebuilds for F-10 (or F-9
updates after F-9 is released) ?

For F-10 only, which is why the subject of the mail was:

Currently the console applications like convert are linked against X.

And here is the answer from upstream:

"ImageMagick permits rendering text onto an image with X11 fonts."

Which explains the X11 dependencies.

That's rather... lame. I mean, we don't really even want to support
core fonts any longer. And you don't need to link against X to use
fontconfig and get proper font rendering.

core fonts any longer. And you don't need to link against X to use
fontconfig and get proper font rendering.

I know, and so does upstream, they also said this feature isn't much used, and
it can be disabled by telling ./configure not to look for X, but then X using
ImageMagick applications like display also won't get buid, so I've requested
upstream to split this into 2 separate configure options.

Regards,

Hans

yuk

Soon Imagemagick will have few core X11 fonts to render from.
This "feature" should be killed, or moved to fontconfig (which does not
require X BTW)
