Package: libjpeg-progs Version: 1:9b-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Bug #160390 either regressed or was erroneously closed to begin with. The -drop patch, as released in http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran/ under http://jpegclub.org/droppatch.v9b.tar.gz is not merged into the package. It is quite trivial to patch and compile the package following the usual "sudo apt-get build-dep libjpeg-progs", "apt-get source libjpeg-progs" and simply overriding the three source files to apply the patch. "configure" and "make install" compile and deploy to /usr/local/ successfully. Once deployed, The -drop lossless merging functionality works as expected. To clarify on this decade old bug, this isn't a mixup between libjpeg-turbo-progs and libjpeg-progs. A separate request has been raised in libjpeg-turbo-progs upstream ( https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo/issues/71 ) regarding this functionality, but that does not concern this issue directly since the code bases have drifted apart over the years rendering the -drop patch incompatible as a drop-in patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (475, 'stable-updates'), (475, 'stable'), (450, 'testing-updates'), (450, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libjpeg-progs depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libjpeg9 1:9b-1 libjpeg-progs recommends no packages. libjpeg-progs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
