ImageMagick itself pulls in a bunch of stuff directly, including X11 libs, which makes sense because it includes utilities which are X clients. Possibly the chain could be broken by packinging some utilities like `display` separately, but, I think it'd actually be a lot of work, because I note that for example `convert` is linked against the same stuff. (I thought for a second that they were hardlinked versions of the same binary, but apparently not.) So there's a project for someone with a lot of extra energy. But I don't think it's really something we can solve at the Fedora level -- we're just packaging it like it is. (Also, note that largely-compatible fork GraphicsMagic happens to have a much smaller dependency chain -- it pulls in X libraries, non-surprising graphics libs, and some fontconfig stuff, but overall about a tenth of what ImageMagick does.) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
