in case anyone is curious about what is required to build, I have
attached a diff.gz that fixes the problems under discussion here.
I cannot help but note that the overall quality of the module is fairly
poor: #495025 raises some doubts, in particular since the classes are
not self-contained.
It is surprising that a python module segfaulting when not enough
parameters are passed to methods is considered to be of adaequate
quality for testing or stable when well-established alternatives like
PIL exist.
The way the python boost detection failure was handled upstream or the
arbitrary increasing of the minimal python version is also not exactly
confidence-inspiring.

Kind regards

T.

Bug#524588: Temporary removal of pythonmagick from testing?

2009-06-14 Thread Luk Claes
Hi

pythonmagick is blocking the imagemagick transition (and some
transitions waiting for this to finish). I heard from Bernd (bzed) that
uploading the new upstream version to fix the outstanding RC bugs still
needs some work (patching to get it build with python2.5?).

So I wanted to request if removing it from testing for now would be an
option?

Cheers

Luk
