[X2Go-Dev] libjpeg-turbo 1.2.90 uploaded to X2Go project's Debian archive

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi all,

being one of the official maintainers of libjpeg-turbo in Debian, I  
have also uploaded libjpeg-turbo to the X2Go project's Debian archive.

For Debian, at the time of writing libjpeg-turbo will not replace  
libjpeg8 (as it happened with many other distros).

Neither will the compat mode packages of libjpeg-turbo (named:  
libjpeg8-turbo) be provided in the Debian project's archive.

However, for X2Go I have built a special version of libjpeg-turbo that  
provides these drop-in replacement packages for libjpeg8:

   libjpeg8-turbo
   libjpeg-turbo-progs
   libjpeg8-turbo-dev (do not use!)

With these packages you can tremendously enhance X2Go. The packages  
have been uploaded for wheezy and sid, I plan to provide a backport  
for squeeze, as well.

However, NOTE: The libjpeg8-turbo ABI is not 100% compatible with  
libjpeg8 from the International JPEG Group, so please use these  
packages at your own risk. Installing libjpeg8-turbo will force every  
installed application that had been linked against libjpeg8 to use the  
symbols in libjpeg8-turbo. For me it works, but will it for you?

@Ubuntu users: Ubuntu has replaced libjpegX by libjpeg-turbo a while  
ago, so please ignore this post. This is for Debian users only.

Greets,
Mike
