Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libjpeg-turbo Version : 1.0.90 Upstream Author : Name <someb...@example.org> * URL : http://libjpeg-turbo.virtualgl.org/ * License : wxWindows Library License 3.1/LGPL/BSD Programming Lang: C Description : an accelerated alternate libjpeg library
"libjpeg-turbo is a derivative of libjpeg for x86 and x86-64 processors which uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, etc.) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression. libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4x as fast as the unmodified version of libjpeg v6b, all else being equal." it claims API/ABI compatibility with libjpeg, so may very well be able to be a drop-in libjpeg replacement. libjpeg-turbo seems to be actively developed (svn commits within the last 24 hours and a pre-release within the last month). Fedora 14 has also included libjpeg-turbo, so it's in use by another major distribution: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/libjpeg-turbo i might be able to help with the initial packaging, but am not really able to commit to long-term package maintenance, hence the RFP. live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
