Re: Fwd: ImageMagick in EPEL 8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ImageMagick now provides libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.7()(64bit)  and not provides anymore  libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.6()(64bit) , that is called soname bump 
So I'm sorry , ImageMagick-6.9.10 -97 was release more than 2 years ago (2020-02-29 09:40) while ImageMagick-6.9.12 still supported by ImageMagick and have all security the fixes . 
you just need rebuild yours packages against the new ImageMagick or just not update ImageMagick with , dnf update --exclude="ImageMagick*" or add the line exclude="ImageMagick*" in the /etc/yum.repos.d

Sometimes we need that things change but is nothing todo with libc and is not us which decide when dynamic libraries change his API .

Can you explain the rationale for bumping the soname? That is supposed to represent a non-backwards-compatile change; i.e. rare to never (cf. libc.so.6 soon to enter its third decade). This just sounds like a security fix (?)

It kind of sucks when RHEL7 and RHEL8 cannot run the same binaries.

ImageMagick soname bump was approved [0] in EPEL Steering Committee
meeting. and I'm continuing with the process for incompatible upgrades
from step 4 forward [1]. and 81 security bugs will be fixed
