[Rant] I miss the days when homebrew would simply install pre-built software on your machine
"brew install imagemagick". Should be simple right? Just a few executables packed into /usr/local/bin, right?
It's been running for half an hour, downloading and installing dependencies.
It just downloaded and compiled openssl. I already had ssl on my machine! Why does imagemagick need its own copy of ssl? Why does it need ssl at all?
I stopped it when it got to Python 3.14. I already have Python3 on my system. 3.14 breaks things.
Here's what it had installed by the time I stopped it: and, aom, ca-certificates, cmake, expat, freetype, giflib, jpeg-turbo, libde265, libheif, libpng, libtiff, libtool, libvmaf, little-cms2, lz4, lzip, m4, meson, mpdecimal, nasm, ninja, openssl@3, pkgconf, python@3.14, readline, sqlite, webp, x265, xz, zstd
Lord knows what state my system is in now.
