Yes, that's what I think, too. And, I also think the distro
maintainers should decide whether libjpeg-turbo is used on the distro
and also whether libjpeg is fully replaced by libjpeg-turbo or whether
libjpeg-turbo is an option for the distro users.
Unfortunately, Debian does not have libjpeg-turbo in SID yet.
But we can make configuration of X2Go with libjpeg-turbo be easier. For example, if user have already installed libjpeg-turbo_1.1.90_i386.deb from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/1.1.90%20%281.2beta1%29/ , agent wrapper can check if directory /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib/ exists and export it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'm not sure that we should provide libjpeg-turbo by ourself.
I am not sure on this...
Currently, I think, offering the packages for Debian in the nightly
repositories should be all we do. People have a .deb based
installation source for the library (which we already do for Debian
squeeze, wheezy and sid) and once installed, people can use
dpkg-divert to select which JPEG lib they can use. As long as we do
not have proper test results and a proof that libjpeg-turbo is a great
enhancement, we should not customize X2Go to use it.
Once we have test results, the distros may already have incorporated
it in their archives and this discussion becomes pointless, anyway...
Greets, Mike
