ImageMagick 6.x is not maintained upstream as far as I can tell.
Yes, and the maintainer prior to me had tried to push a 7.x update and then promptly
abandoned the package after a mess was made.
ImageMagick 7.x has a different API and requires porting apps. Apps are not
interested in 7.x and will use 6.x until they're forced to change.
@Luya, apologies for not providing you with a little more knowledge of the package.
It isn't a simple package to maintain. Upgrades require great, great care and lots
of rebuilds and alignment with other packages on every update.
