Description albert 2013-12-03 10:16:30 UTC
Description of problem:

Since wp3.5, ImageMagick is used instead of GD for image manipulation,
if /usr/bin/convert is available.
I think that a new depends on ImageMagick would be good in order to
get better performance/quality by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

wordpress-3.7.1-1.fc21.noarch.rpm

Comment 1 albert 2013-12-03 13:53:18 UTC
Correction:

The dependency should be on php-pecl-imagick, as reflected in
http://make.wordpress.org/core/2012/12/06/wp_image_editor-is-incoming/

Comment 2 Remi Collet 2013-12-03 17:00:38 UTC
php-pecl_imagick is an optional dependency.

So this should be installed on user/admin choice, not by default.

Espcecially because pecl/imagick pull a lot od dependencies, and have conflicts with some other extension (pecl/gmagick).

So, sorry, but I think we can't add this as a mandatory dep.

Comment 3 albert 2013-12-04 07:37:20 UTC
OK, I understand. However, a mention on this could be done in
/usr/share/doc/wordpress-3.7.1/README.fedora
so IT admins can be aware of this option and make a choice.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 5 Rahul Sundaram 2016-05-14 04:37:58 UTC
Would be nice to use recommends for optional packages in addition to the readme file.

Comment 6 Remi Collet 2016-05-14 06:24:58 UTC
Already explained in README, as for opcache and pecl/ssh2

I don't want to add any dependencies (because of the conflicts)

Even a recommends could raise issue (1st install wordpress, then another app requiring gmagick)
