Hi, I talked to Neal yesterday and the result is this proposal . We may provide a compat-ImageMagick if it is need, but the proposal is betting that we won't need it. F36 and F37 are out of scope for now, after "getting IM7 in F38 will let us see how things go, and we can follow up from there" Also later, EPEL Steering Committee will have to decide if want add IM7 on EPEL 9 and 8 and how , or following this proposal or doing a new package ImageMagick7 Best regards, -- Sérgio M.
