[Typo3-debian] GraphicsMagick-Packages for Debian

[Sven Wilhelm]

Hi *,

I have debianized GraphicsMagick 1.1.2

The packages are currently available from a repository on my side.

deb http://www.icecrash.com/debian/graphicsmagick/ ./
deb-src http://www.icecrash.com/debian/graphicsmagick/ ./
apt-get update && apt-get install graphicsmagick

I will move the packages to mentors.debian.net as soon as I resolved
some license questions. I will notify this list when I move the packages,

These packages were compiled on Debian Sid and are on alpha stage, but 
they work. Should also be usable for Sarge. If anyone needs that 
backported to woody, then please notify here.


Some notes from Michael Stucki at the devel-list
===========================================================================
I just came up with the idea to write another wrapper which makes it
possible to use TYPO3 with GraphicsMagick.

You can find it here:
http://www.mstucki.net/files/typo3/gm_wrapper/

Usage is simple:
- Install GraphicsMagick
- Create a new directory and put the wrapper into it
- Create symlinks for "identify", "convert" and "composite", all pointing to
   the wrapper script
- If needed, change the path to GraphicsMagick inside the wrapper script

A first test (Install Tool + Testsite) was successful, so this could be a
really easy way to extend TYPO3 with support for another graphics
manipulation program.
