Package: libturbojpeg1 Version: 1:1.3.1-6 Severity: wishlist
The short description reads: TurboJPEG runtime library - SIMD optimized The extended description reads:
The libjpeg-turbo JPEG library is a library for handling JPEG files. libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, and ARM systems. This package contains the TurboJPEG shared runtime library.
There are a couple of issues here. The first sentence is probably the shortest sentence to contain both "JPEG" and "library" 3 times. Some of these mentions are "indirect", but this could easily be brought down to 2: "libjpeg-turbo is a library for handling JPEG files." More problematic is the fact that libjpeg-turbo is defined, but never referred to, while TurboJPEG is referred to, but never defined. One would think these are equivalent, but http://www.libjpeg-turbo.org/About/TurboJPEG explains that is not the case. I would like to offer a solution, but there's a reason why I was reading these descriptions, and the situation appears non-trivial. The page above suggests "the TurboJPEG shared runtime library" would be wrong, since it defines TurboJPEG as an API. However, if libjpeg-turbo builds 2 libraries, that's not clear from upstream's explanation. This looks like clarification with upstream might be warranted. -- Filipus Klutiero http://www.philippecloutier.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
