[arch-dev-public] ImageMagick 7
Hi list, if nobody objects I would like to start an upgrade to ImageMagick 7. The plan is: - Split imagemagick into (libmagick imagemagick imagemagick-doc). - Add imagemagick6, split into (libmagick6 imagemagick6). No docs. libmagick and libmagick6 contain the parallel-installable libraries. imagemagick and imagemagick6 conflict with each other, containing the tools, the perl module and the conflicting build files. We'll need some rebuilds, of course. Thoughts? Greetings, Jan

libmagick and libmagick6 contain the parallel-installable libraries.
imagemagick and imagemagick6 conflict with each other, containing the tools, the perl module and the conflicting build files.
We'll need some rebuilds, of course.
Thoughts?
Will imagemagick6 (the tools) still be needed after we ship IM7? I'd rather not ship two versions of the tools if that's possible.

That's the question. I'm not even sure (but more confident) that we need libmagick6. I have the complete set ready, but we can still drop the packages that we later determine are not needed.

Last time a tried not a single package that links to libmagick was building with 7, so I'd be surprised if libmagick6 wasn't needed.
