this not only leads to failed tests, but quite some build failures with jpeg:9 (qtwebengine, OpenSceneGraph, calligra to name a few). One upstream has even closed a bug report about such an error with WONTFIX (They accepted a patch later on though). > As a bonus, jpeg-turbo has committed to maintaining abi stability - no > more rebuilding lots of packages with a new major jpeg library release. > > And so I propose to change the default provider used in Exherbo to > jpeg-turbo. Does anyone have any objections to that? On the contrary, a big, fat +1 from me. Thanks for bringing this up.
