Whilst I recently claimed ruby-mini-magick from the list,
I did a little research on the same.
Here are my findings:
I guess the original version of ruby-mini-magick and the imagemagick in
Jessie were working fine together. However, something messed up in
imagemagick later on (not yet sure what it was).
Following the upstream commits from 2014, 2015, and 2016, I found out that
they removed PSD tests and the usage of TIFF in these commit[1][2] (just
after the release of the version in Jessie) because imagemagick stopped
supporting it by default from 6.9.0.
However, the version of imagemagick in Jessie is 6.8.9.9-5+deb8u17. So I
guess that should work but given the additional "deb8u17", I suspect
something changed there which fails the ruby-mini-magick's test.
Furthermore, PSD is a proprietary piece of software and that test
doesn't really help us in checking anything important either.
Neither does TIFFs (from specs).
Thus, I don't think we actually need that here and can be safely
disabled/patched because of the above reasons.
Looking forward to your suggestions and opinions.
I'd be happy to complete this and upload the same if it's fine
by everyone.
Best,
Utkarsh
