Laravel执行composer update的时候推荐安装两个包，不太清楚作用是什么

Question

在windows上执行composer update，用到了intervention/image这个包，执行过程中提示推荐安装两个包：

intervention/image suggests installing ext-imagick (to use Imagick based image p                                                                              rocessing.)
intervention/image suggests installing intervention/imagecache (Caching extensio                                                                              n for the Intervention Image library)

关于这两个包有3个疑问：
1、两个包分别是干什么的？
2、第1个包在github上找不到，那么在哪里下载？
3、第2个包可以在github上找到，但好久没更新了，过时了没有？

附：命令执行时完整信息：

Answer 1

这个包支持GD和imagick，至于imagick是什么，请百度。
intervention/imagecache 是这个包的图像缓存附加支持
至于你所说的过时，只要laravel的cache接口没有改变，便可正常使用
