Description Honza 2006-10-04 07:44:08 UTC

media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.9.5 ebuild forces modular X, while previous version can work with the monolithic one. Or does imagemagick really NEED modular X ? Why ?

Comment 2 Honza 2006-10-04 10:18:29 UTC

OK. It still seems to me that this is not the best way to inform about it (can't glsa-check print it ? I mean, it print "LibXfont, monolithic X.org: Multiple integer overflows ( x11-base/xorg-x11  x11-libs/libXfont )", can't some information that monolithic X.org is no longer supported be added to it ?), but its logical to stop supporting it ...
