Ah, yes, that's a good point. I think we have a bunch of packages
that 'BuildRequires: ImageMagick' and then use /usr/bin/convert
during the build to convert icons from one format to another. Other
packages require /usr/bin/convert for runtime use.
Sergio, what's your plan for handling /usr/bin/convert?
Thank you Kalev ,
I don't indent change /usr/bin/convert from ImageMagick6 so probably it
will /usr/bin/convert-7
Note that I checked Remi package and copied some ideas from there, so
also should check how Remi handle this .
