Hi all, I just committed an improved version of USES=magick here: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=be67c1c353cabc6b17698f85efa4e5dce70b8e31 * For users: ------------ DEFAULT_VERSIONS for ImageMagick now behaves in a more sensible way: The version (6 or 7) and the flavor (x11 or nox11) are now considered separately. This means if you for example set DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= imagemagick=7-nox11 and some port requires ImageMagick6, but doesn't specify a flavor, ImageMagick6-nox11 will be used. * For port maintainers: ----------------------- Please check your ports with USES=magick in these cases: * You have some X11 or NOX11 option for your port. If this option is *only* used to select an ImageMagick flavor, then please remove it, it isn't needed any more, because users can just use DEFAULT_VERSIONS as described above. * You depend on a specific version and/or flavor, e.g. USES= magick:6,nox11 Then please check whether this is really needed! If possible, remove these options, so the dependency always uses the user-specified version/flavor. This is to be preferred because any ImageMagick* packages conflicts on install with any other.
