Bug#602034: libjpeg-turbo
Hi, just a short heads-up to motivate the packaging of libjpeg-turbo. The Steam for Linux package [1] has a dependency on libjpeg8-turbo, hence the unavailability of libjpeg-turbo currently means Debian users cannot install Steam (besides the fact that libc6 is too old, too).

It also totally ignore image quality improvement. personally, I feel really uncomfortable that out of blue new, incompatible jpeg format has been introduced. Even if debian starts supporting these features, there is huge amount of older installations and even hardware that only supports the old jpeg features. Debian not supporting theses features is not a better option. fedora moved to libjpeg-turbo, is there some convincing reason to go with abi-incompatible new libjpeg version instead?

All I know they still use libjpeg-turbo for F15: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libjpeg-turbo.git My understanding is that RedHat sponsored support of libjpeg8 ABI to libjpeg-turbo, so they probably plan to use it.

Hello Bill Thanks for your efforts. I wouldn't mind trying beta/alpha versions if you have any somewhere? Yours, Gurkan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#602034: libjpeg-turbo
Hi Bill, I've taken an interest in libjpeg-turbo and would like to help out with this. Not sure if anything has happened in the last few weeks, or if you've been concentrating on squeeze. The version of libjpeg.so in libjpeg-turbo 1.0.1 looks fine to me -- it has an identical SONAME as the one provided in libjpeg62, and appears to be ABI compatible. It also provides a libturbojpeg.so, which is isn't versioned properly, is this what you're referring to? In any case, the libjpeg.so could co-exist in the repositories with libjpeg62 by using /etc/alternatives, yes?

Hello Gürkan, The current version of libjpeg-turbo does not have versionned symbols, so it cannot be packaged. I would prefer to wait until squeeze is released before taking any decision on libjpeg-turbo.
