We've had just these issues with Java and python, and years ago with perl and gcc upgrades. Do the "add a suffix" first, to make the new version available for testing and debugging, because it's going to break a *lot* of working code that uses tools like "convert". After that's had a chance to sink in, then switch the default to be the new ImageMagick 7 tools, and leave a previous version around as ImageMagick 6. The "compat-*" packages, such as the compat-gnutls I've worked with in RHEL, have been useful for compilation of tools demanding current versions of libraries, but are not helpful with such a large suite of executable tools as ImageMagick. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
