- imagemagick for Debian
-
- ----------------------
-
- Debian's imagemagick package does *not* include the original ImageMagick
- logo because it is not DFSG free. Please do not complain to me.
-
-
- Please keep the following in mind before you report a bug in this package:
-
- 1) The upstream authors of ImageMagick have their own bug-tracking system
- (Please see the web page: http://www.imagemagick.org). If the origin of
- the problem is with the actual ImageMagick code, and not specific to the
- Debian packages, please report it to them; not to me.
- Indeed, normally when I receive a bug report via the Debian bug-tracking
- system, all I can do is forwarding it to the upstream authors. I am not able
- to fix the problem, but the upstream authors update ImageMagick frequently.
- Of course, any packaging problems, or problems specific to the Debian
- packages, should be reported via the Debian bug-tracking system.
-
- 2) When you submit a bug report, please include a reference to the image which
- exposed the bug. Either attach it (non-optimal), or put it up on a web page
- somewhere and give the URL.
-
- 3) As of Feb 24th, 2000, Debian does not include a package for the 'mpeg'
- command, available from ftp.mpeg.org. Because of this, the Debian
- ImageMagick packages do not support the mpeg format. (For the same
- reason, Debian ImageMagick packages do not support the cgm format.)
-
- 4) The Debian ImageMagick packages are built with -enable-16bit-pixel. If you
- have a problem with the depth of the image, you can set the '-depth 8'
- command-line option.
-
- 5) We will not provide non-X11 binary package, because xlibs package does
- not so big. If you really need non-X11 binary package, you can build
- it without xlibs.
