Fedora switched to libjpeg-turbo and reports in their release notes: "The libjpeg library has been replaced by libjpeg-turbo library which has same API/ABI but is at least twice faster on all primary architectures and about 25% faster on secondary architectures." > - A test rebuild for packages build-depending on libjpeg*-dev. > Not sure if this will catch all issues, but it's a start. > That should give an estimate for sourceful and sourceless > changes needed, and for which packages you'll have to > maintain a delta compared to Debian. Since libjpeg-turbo is API/ABI compatible, it would not even require a rebuild. This makes the transition actually smoother than the transition to libjpeg8 fork of the original libjpeg.
