It seems we should make sure other libraries mentioned in LSB are compiled against LSB versions of their dependencies wherever possible. So in this case we ought to modify QT and GTK+ to compile against libjpeg6 / -turbo. It may be a good idea to audit all LSB-related packages for dependencies on other versions. Even if that's not actually required by LSB it is something we ought to be doing to prevent conflicts.

At the risk of repeating myself: This pixbuf loader bug is just one example. The LSB exists to make it possible to run proprietary products on any LSB-compliant linux distro. And despite the tunnel-vision open source enthusiasts sometimes have there are a many important and useful proprietary products out there. When we fail to run some product that someone needs they go to Fedora or Ubuntu because the OS is irrelevant to the vast majority of customers. The only thing that matters is what the customer wants to /do/ with the OS. I realize that in some cases LSB fails to accomplish this goal but in this case it would have succeeded as it does in many cases. If you feel that LSB is failing to accomplish this in some way please step up and help give them constructive suggestions as to how it could be accomplished better. In the real world there will always be proprietary products and /we/ are better off if those products can run smoothly on our favorite distro. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I'm going to recommend that we stop ignoring LSB requirements. There are some very good reasons to comply with LSB and we fail when we don't.

Moving to libjpeg-turbo would fix bnc#620175 Opensuse 11.3 Chrome Stable Crashes When Trying to Attach a File. Basically the problem is that Google's build of Chrome is against libjpeg6 (because Ubuntu and Fedora use 6 - Fedora 14 uses libjpeg-turbo, I haven't checked Ubuntu yet). This causes chrome to crash when a gtk filechooser dialog sees a jpeg file (tries to load the pixbuf loader which crashes because the loader is linked to libjpeg8). This mixed jpeg problem will also cause problems for any app or browser plugin compiled for other distros that happens to use gtk for file choosers. For example it causes a crash with Novell's Moonlight plugin on chrome for a similar reason (we use pixbuf loaders for all images, we're looking at switching). The fun part is that our own plugin only crashes in this way on our own distro. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] libjpeg-turbo

Fedora 14 has been released with libjpeg-turbo (http://libjpeg-turbo.virtualgl.org/). I see we have multiple packages in home repos (home:Lazy_Kent, home:felfert, home:iboss32, home:mkromer and home:prusnak)... so someone can comment about this? Fedora sells this as a libjpeg API/ABI compatible changes that is just faster. From a quick look it seems to be API/ABI compatible with the old 6.2 version that was available for years, but 11.3 already provides the binary incompatible 8.0. What other distros do? Also, not sure if featurewise they are 100% equivalent (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639672). Finally, this probably would be mostly a x86-64 improvement? Since we target i586 for x86-32, that doesn't provides MMX/SSE support, the speed improvement seems to be limited to a "25%" there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

The fun part is that our own plugin only > crashes in this way on our own distro. Never looked too deep into this. But Debian seems to version symbols in a way that would solve this kind of problems (http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/ImprovedDpkgShlibdeps). Since for any precompiled binary this can happen with a lot of libraries this could be something good to copy. As a side effect it would also remove the need for macros as "%kde4_runtime_requires" (in an ideal case). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] libdbi Contrib -> Factory
by Peter Czanik 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Hello, I wonder, if libdbi and libdbi-drivers could be moved from Contrib to Factory. Reason: syslog-ng's database support is based libdbi. If libdbi(-drivers) is moved to Factory, then database could be enabled as part of the next release.

[opensuse-factory] Status: Milestone3
by Stephan Kulow 03 Nov '10

Hi, The most annoying M2 bug is still not fixed (Xorg crashes) and I don't consider releasing Milestone3 in this state useful ;( So I will cancel Milestone3 and move it to hopefully next week. If we can't get to the core of it, we may need to disable compositing use in KDE.
