hi there,
Can it be updated to upstream version in rawhide ?
The libjpeg version(6b) in Fedora is quite old(27-Mar-1998).
And newer versions were released on:
Version 7 27-Jun-2009
Version 8 10-Jan-2010
Version 8a 28-Feb-2010
Version 8b 16-May-2010

May I point out that libjpeg version 7 and later add support
for the patented (and optional) arithmetic coding part of the
JPEG spec. So before we go any further in discussing whether
or not to switch to a newer libjpeg we first need to investigate
what the legal status of these newer versions is.
