Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.4.5.4.dfsg1-1
Hi there,
I see you renamed imagemagick's -dev packages in experimental for the
new upstream names of libs, .pc files, config programs and includes.
I think this is going to be a painful transition if we move the
packages as is to unstable. It would make the transition much smoother
if we provided compatibility libmagick++9-dev and libmagick9-dev
packages.
If we do this, we could use this occasion to also keep the
compatibility binaries in the old package names to allow to get rid of
them after the transition.
These are my notes on the various header, libs, .pc files, and config
programs:
old new new

include/ImageMagick/Magick++*
libMagick++.so libMagick++.so
Magick++-config Magick++-config
ImageMagick++.pc ImageMagick++.pc (D?)
N Magick++.pc (R?)
N: NEW, D: DEPRECATED, R: REPLACEMENT
I don't think we need to care about libs and headers, as .pc files
should be used or in the worst case -config programs. Therefore, I
think it would make sense to:
- readd libmagick++9-dev, deping on libmagick++-dev
- move ImageMagick++.pc to libmagick++9-dev (not clear whether
ImageMagick++.pc is truly deprecated)
- readd libmagick9-dev, deping on libmagickcore-dev and
libmagickwand-dev
- move Wand-config, Magick-config, Wand.pc, ImageMagick.pc to
libmagick9-dev (not sure whether the .pc files are truly deprecated)
- change the Conflicts on libmagick9-dev and libmagick++9-dev to
Replaces with << first version where libmagick++-dev,
libmagickcore-dev, and libmagickwand-dev were introduced
- add Replaces to libmagick++9-dev and libmagick9-dev on
libmagickcore-dev, libmagickwand-dev, libmagick++-dev << version of
this change
What do you think?
Bye
