Sorry, this is my first bug request. corrected severity and set to "medium" ImageMagick is already in EPEL 9, and has been for a while now. See https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?search=&packages=ImageMagick&releases=EPEL-9N&releases=EPEL-9 for the latest updates. I was hoping for ImageMagick 7. if you need IM7 please look at remi repos https://rpms.remirepo.net/ ImageMagick is tricky when it comes to library stability. Even going from 6.9.11.x to 6.9.12.x involves a library soname change. Upgrading to version 7 would be even more disruptive and not in line with the EPEL updates policy. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy/ If the maintainers want to pursue this in spite of the risk, we have the EPEL incompatible upgrade process to do it deliberately and carefully. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy-incompatible-upgrades/ This is actually even less predictable than I thought. I originally compared Fedora builds of 6.9.11.27 and 6.9.12.25 and assumed that the third section moving from 11 to 12 was when the library soname changed from 6 to 7. It actually changed going from 6.9.11.60 to 6.9.11.61. https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6/compare/6.9.11-60...6.9.11-61 https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6/commit/8b4078682b9fd4988ea44d077cf77eecb8f836d8 It remains true that upgrading to anything version 7 will be a drastic change that is generally inappropriate for EPEL. Current state for EPEL8/9 ImageMagick-6.9.13.17-1 Latest 6 Version is ImageMagick-6.9.13.25 It seems to be without library soname change. https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6/compare/6.9.13-17...6.9.13-25.diff Do you have time to build the latest one?
