[Bioc-devel] Failing to build vignette because of problems with ImageMagick

Hi Vince,

I briefly communicated with Martin regarding this issue a few days ago. The
ImageMagick convert tool called by BiocStyle through a knitr figure
cropping hook can certainly be improved, as pointed out by Yihui in the in
the GitHub issue linked by Christian. This is something I will look into.
However, I don't think that your failing builds are related to BiocStyle. I
can only second on what Herve has already mentioned here: the observed
convert messages are picked up as warnings by 'R CMD build' and they don't
actually cause the build to fail.

Cheers,
Andrzej
