Patrick:
I think it is somewhat useful to have spec files that build newer
versions of various libraries, in case people need them. Note that
spec-files-extra has spec-files you can use to rebuild SUNWlxml.spec
and SUNWlxsl.spec.
I believe that we (the JDS Tteam) do not actually ship SUNWimagick.
I think this spec-file was a part of our build system and used for
a while before SUNWimagick was actually added to Nevada by another
team.
If I am right about this, I think the best thing to do would be:
1. Remove the SUNWimagick.spec from spec-files
2. Remove the SFEimagemagick.spec from spec-files-extra
3. Add a new SUNWimagick.spec file to spec-files-extra that builds
the latest & greatest. This will allow people to build/rebuild
the latest SUNWimagick code if they need to for any reason (like
to test building some new thing that depends on a newer release).
Does this sound right, Laca?
