I want to resize jpeg images (in order to create thumbnail images for a webpage) from a bash script and know that I can use 'convert' from the imagemagick package to achieve this. This will be run on a (headless, no X) lenny/armel NSLU2 "slug".
However, aptitude says that to install imagemagick requires 78 new packages, including x11-common, various gtk and font libraries - which will be irrelevant on the NSLU2. Using the without-recommends switch in aptitude reduces the package count to 63 and choosing the 'graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat' package rather than imagemagick brings it down to "only" 52 packages. This still seems quite a lot and includes lots of font stuff and x11-common when all I want is the 'convert' command. Does anyone know of a simpler, slimmer alternative for resizing jpegs from the command line please? -- Bob Cox. Stoke Gifford, near Bristol, UK. Please reply to the list only.
