Sometimes forcing moving forward can be a huge mistake, IMO. In this case we also want bring IM-7 to epel(s) quickly. After things are stabilized, we may think in "forcing" ImageMagick-7. BTW we already try upgrade to Imagemagick-7 in Fedora 26 / 27 and didn't went well https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?search=ImageMagick&releases=F27&releases=F26 > > -- > 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- Sérgio M.
