 Hi folks

 I'm very new to Fink and need GraphicsMagick to work with TYPO3 on a
 Mac. I've therefore converted the installation guide into an .info
 for Fink. However, it's surely far from perfect I guess, so hints on
 how to improve it are very much apprechiated, particularly: [..]

I got a useful build this way, though it's far from optimal. I kept  
notes in DescPackaging. I got started on a -lib -bin splitoff  
version, but never finished, and that info file's not worth passing  
on. Presented for forensic purposes. :-)

HTH.

Package: graphicsmagick
Version: 1.1.7
Revision: 1
Architecture: powerpc, i386

Maintainer: Paul Mitchum [EMAIL PROTECTED]
HomePage: http://www.graphicsmagick.org/
License: GPL
Description: Graphics conversion and composite utility

Source: mirror:sourceforge:%n/GraphicsMagick-%v.tar.gz
Source-MD5: 9dec2209500b44c617a789b4072ed724

DescDetail: 
GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing.
It provides a robust collection of tools and libraries which
support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over
88 major formats.
GraphicsMagick is feature-compatible with ImageMagick, but can
be installed alongside it.


DescPackaging: 
This package builds GM as a stand-alone, no libraries, no-plugins, no
Magick++ binary. This is just to simplify things, and, frankly, because
I don't know how to do it otherwise (yet).

GraphicsMagick wants a lot of dependencies. Some are available under  
fink,
and, some aren't, but it will build just fine without the ones that  
don't
exist yet.
Capabilities which are missing because of lack of fink projects:
GCM (needs ralcgm package, unmaintained in fink),
camera RAW files (needs dcraw package),
rasterized HTML pages (html2ps package),
JBIG (jbig-kit package),
DICOM (unmodified libjpeg),
Radiance (ra_ppm utility),
RLE (Utah Raster Toolkit),
scanner support will be dicey at best (scanimage utility),
FlashPIX (libfpx package),
and PNG and MIFF, which don't work because there's no zlib. This
is a priority.

Support for the more secure TRIO package is pending.

PerlMagick support is missing in this revision. My kung fu is no good.

 A lot of maintainers wait for some positive feedback from users before
 moving a package into stable.  If you use a package and think it is  
 ready
 for stable, please let the maintainer know.

Well, see, this is exactly the can of worms I was hoping to open. :-)

Why should users get to determine which packages are 'stable' and  
which aren't? If the threshold between stable and unstable is that  
users are OK with it, then it seems that packages without outstanding  
bug reports could be automatically moved to stable after, say, six  
months or something. That would make the process both more  
transparent and predictable, and also less of a headache to  
maintainers. Even if it weren't set up to be automatic, there might  
be a twice-yearly Race To The Stable Day, where maintainers could  
race to make their packages stable by clearing bugs from the tracker.

But whether that's the solution or not: I think fink would really do  
well to adopt a very clear policy on when and how packages should  
move to stable. More packages would end up as stable if a clear  
policy were in place.

I say this having searched for such a policy and being unable to find  
one. If it already exists, then I'd be glad to see it.
