Note also that there is actually no alternative for openjpeg. It is the only actively developed JPEG2000 library. If it turns out that it is still a high security risk and it is important to have the Ghostscript upstream developers as an extra security instance to integrate it into Ghostscript for us and not let app developers freely use it and not trust Debian who have it in Main, we have to keep Ghostscript different from Debian, using the Ghostscript-embedded openjpeg.
I think we never can do completely away with JPEG2000, as this makes several PDFs not displaying/printing and me receiving a lot of bug reports. As JPEG2000 is not used standalone but only in PDF we can continue using Ghostscript with embedded openjpeg, my main intentions to use openjpeg as separate library are: - Syncing GS with Debian and so ease maintainership - Getting MuPDF into Main which probably also uses openjpeg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711061 Title: [MIR] openjpeg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjpeg/+bug/711061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
