[Typo3-dev] GraphicsMagick

Hi Michael,

Thanks, but some work has be done, like integrate bash_completion and 
rest of packaging (next week ;)

Will integrate such a part as a separate deb (possible 
graphicksmagick-im-compat or so).
For special Typo3 purposes your wrapper should be used for really faking 
an imagemagick installation en detail. For general distribution I will 
integrate something like ssh-argv0 (appended a little script).

Great. But in the end your statement is right if you say that there 
should be a layer for integrating alternative graphic commands.
Something like abstract methods that gets the internal attributes and a 
class for each command you wish to integrate for image processing.
I could imagine that layers will be integrated in many parts or 
components of Typo3. For the calender the same questions I have 
discussed with Volker.

> Can you please post this on typo3-debian as well?
Will do.

> Should we continue the discussion of the gm_wrapper thing here?
If anyone is interesting in it, why not, its developing, if not then not.

Greetings Sven
