Hi, One major issue/reason for keeping the current GraphicsMagick is koffice3. I'm not sure we can simply drop the filter that is dependent on the old GraphicsMagick - I've looked into it some, but not enough; and koffice3 isn't going away anytime soon. Also note that GraphicsMagick 1.3.1 is out, the now current stable release. I know of at least one existing port that would benefit from a new GraphicsMagick, but I'm sure there are others. For what reason do you need an update - new port or such? Talking out loud, if there are many ports that would seriously benefit from switching to GraphicsMagick, from ImageMagick, maybe we could go down the route of splitting GraphicsMagick into 1.x/ and stable/, or something. Oh, and I see that GraphicsMagick doesn't recommend gslib, so maybe we should just disable that by default instead of making it a FLAVOR; then again, I wonder if we need a FLAVOR over a SUBPACKAGE - I clearly haven't looked ;) There are a few things to consider, hence my lagging on this port. Thanks for your interest though - opinions welcome ;) Cheers, Okan > Daniel > > [1] - http://leva.ecentrum.hu/patches/GraphicsMagick_1.2.6+no_gs.diff > > -- > LEVAI Daniel > PGP key ID = 0x4AC0A4B1 > Key fingerprint = D037 03B9 C12D D338 4412 2D83 1373 917A 4AC0 A4B1
