Package: imagemagick Version: 6.9.7.4+dfsg-16 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, After upgrading ImageMagick from Ubuntu Xenial to Artsy (the latter includes the current debian version), the package no longer has features 'cairo' and 'librsvg2' enabled. I suppose this is not intended because the package still has build-depends on libcairo-dev and librsvg2-dev. However the macros MAGICKCORE_CAIRO_DELEGATE and MAGICKCORE_RSVG_DELEGATE are actually disabled and output is really ugly. These are stored in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6/magick/magick-baseconfig.h This is a pretty serious issue because without these features, rendering capabilities are very limited. Upstream maintainers highly recommend using librsvg2 and not the internal libxml2 delegate for svg rendering. Also cairo is needed for a lot of advanced rendering features. To give an impression, below is a PNG file of the standard svg tigered rendered with the current and previous IM: Current Debian version: https://i.imgur.com/YCrYDzH.png Current Xenial version: https://i.imgur.com/uKtwNWK.png I hope that this illustrates that these features are not just "nice to have" but really needed to make imagemagick useful. Thank you for looking into this!
