Re: [ITP-adopt] ImageMagick 6.3.0.1 - 2nd try

I hate to be a wet blanket here but did you try this before uploading, Eric?

Well, I've tried it (briefly). convert.exe seems to work, as well as identify.exe. However, I can't get display.exe to do anything other than print out its usage/help message -- I've tried it both with no DISPLAY variable and no Xserver running, and with an Xserver and with DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0.


I assume the former is "proper" as display.exe is not linked against any of the X libraries but is linked against GDI32.dll -- therefore I assume it uses native windowing.


Furthermore, there are some packaging issues in the main ImageMagick package:


....
/usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.3.0/www/subversion.html
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/ChangeLog
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/coder.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/log.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/magic.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/sRGB.icm
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/config/thresholds.xml
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/LICENSE
/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/NEWS

The three files ChangeLog, LICENSE, and NEWS in /usr/share/ImageMagick-6.3.0/ should really be in /usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.3.0/. The former directory should be reserved for platform-independent support files, not documentation. I realize the current placement is the fault of the upstream package, but still...

More importantly, however, there is no /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ImageMagick*README file.
