Bug 6411

Please test graphicsmagick-1.3.13-1.1.mga2.src.rpm from core/updates_testing.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

graphicsmagick-1.3.13-1.1.mga2 seems to work perfectly.

Appearantly, the missing static files weren't the problem after all. Sorry for the mislead. I was pretty certain that this was the cause.

Reassign to qabugs for updates routine.

The graphicsmagick packages shipped in Mageia 2 contains a packaging bug, which will lead to gm program not working at all. The relative packages have been patched to workaround this problem.

Assignee: fundawang => qa-bugs
Summary: GraphicsMagick lacks .la files and thus is unusable => [Update Request]Update graphicsmagick package to fix a packaging problem
Source RPM: graphicsmagick-1.3.13-1.mga2.src.rpm => graphicsmagick-1.3.13-1.1.mga2.src.rpm

I'll test this on i586 over the weekend.

CC: (none) => isolde

On i586:

I installed the program, verified that I couldn't get a list of formats.

I updated libgraphicsmagick3, then tried again and got a very long list of formats, many of which I'd never even heard of!

I've never used GM before, but with the help of the website I spent some time displaying and converting some files using JPG, PDF, TIFF, MIFF, MAT, PBM. PGM and BMP formats including adding some extra options - monochrome, resizing, adding text - and all that worked fine.

Any more detailed testing would have to be done by someone with a more in-depth knowledge of graphics than I've got.


I might be able to do the same for x86_64, will let you know.

Still can't test on x86_64, sorry.

Got a 64-bit VM up and running - will test on that.

Did similar tests to the above in x86_64 VM and what I tried is now working fine.

Thankyou Carolyn. Do you want to validate it?

See how to on the wiki :)

Testing complete of graphicsmagick-1.3.13-1.1.mga2.src.rpm for mageia 2 i586 and mageia 2 x86_64.
Update validated.

Whiteboard: (none) => mga2-32-OK, mga2-64-OK

Validating

Advisory
--------
The binary rpm contains only the dynamic versions (.so) of the GraphicsMagick
modules. Due to a quirk in the GraphicsMagick module loader, the static
versions (.la) are required, too. Otherwise, no module can be loaded at all.

SRPM: graphicsmagick-1.3.13-1.1.mga2.src.rpm

Could sysadmin please puch from core/updates_testing to core/updates

Thanks!

Carolyn, could you provide a testing procedure? What you did in (In reply to comment #5)

The testing you did was good already, could you please provide a testing procedure (list of commands to type) that we could use for testing bug #6561? That would help us to test graphicsmagick updates faster.

Yes, I'll work something out as soon I have time.

Carolyn

I've put a suggested testing procedure in the QA wiki section (correctly I hope).

Carolyn

Nice, thanks a lot. It looks good.
