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
