While this was not heavily tested with the Ubuntu images, it's enabled by default at the Linaro Ubuntu images for 2 releases already, and we didn't find any major issue with it. From my point of view it's fine to have a proper security review first, but having it enabled at Firefox and Chromium by default is probably a good indication that it's not going to cause us a lot of troubles.
I don't think much of this code will end up at upstream, as it was forked for quite a while already basically because upstream was dead. The reason to enable it at universe is to properly identify if it's a valid option to enable it by default later, as already done by other distros and once more users are actually using it, we can easily identify the benefits later on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849337 Title: FFe: include libjpeg-turbo, a derivative of libjpeg that uses SIMD instructions and additional optimizations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libjpeg-turbo/+bug/849337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
