Hi,

it's this bug:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121142

There's no comment by the maintainer for a while. I wrote the patches
that are needed to fix the problem. They work fine as far as i can tell.

So what's wrong wrong here?

I don't want to sell my patches to anyone.
But i'd like to see that bug fixed! It exists for several versions now,
and the sollution is now available - i even explained what and why i did
what i did in the patches.

So can somebody take care of this?


I understand, if the maintainer is on holidays, does not have much time
at the moment and so on - but not enough time for just a comment?


Greetings,
  Sven

Don't feel too bad - I frequently post patches to bugs reported on the same 
day and ask for feedback. Some of which are now over a year old without any 
feedback from the reporter.

Thanks

Sadly, true... People are busy with other things too often. This issue
is very annoying, perhaps someone from graphics herd should pick this up
and commit it (yes, it works for me as well).

Thanks.

Hmm, so i've uploaded new patches. They have the advantage, that they
don't require patching PerlMagick/Makefile.am and therefor the ebuild
does not require running eautoreconf and can use more or less vanilla
sources.

Perhaps i will do the legwork and try to convince some developers to
submit some patches upstream, so that future releases of ImageMagick are
more Gentoo-friendly.


Greetings,
  Sven

that is why I try to close a bug when commenting something on it. NEEDINFO
usually works on those and allows you to clean up your list of inactive
bugs.
