Comment(by fo):
That was also my understanding, at first. So, it took a while for me to
solve that, but I did not want to bother others (and most particularly,
you) with that, and did not wrote about that until Ken asked. However, the
book supported jpegsrc.v8d, if I remember correctly, so, users of the book
got jpeg broken when the replacement took effect. Usually, distros have
instructions/procedures to prevent this to happen, many examples in Arch
and Gentoo.
Everybody knows your great work and level, so what I write in the
following is not by any means a criticism.
I also understand you not being sure about what to do, as you did not have
the problem (how did you do it, have always used the -turbo version?). One
thing I thought, if you have a development only system, perhaps you could
break it and solve the problem, probably in the lines described by Bruce
and Ken, an then add what you did to fix?
I am not an editor, so I cannot do it myself. You know I would like to be
in the level of being a developer, you even told me to do so, once, so I
could help editing the book, instead of bothering you all, asking things.
But the one time I tried to, I failed. It was with a seamonkey update and
Bruce corrected me, but I really did not understand Bruce's last reply to
me and did not know what I needed to change in order to generate a useful
update diff. If I could be instructed, I would be happy to keep some pages
that are always delayed, e.g., mozilla packages and OpenJDK, which take
relatively a lot more time and space than others, so to be hated to
maintain, probably, by all developers.
