Since JasPer upstream [1] is quite unreliable I think about removing libjasper from openSUSE repos. Debian removed libjasper with the release of Debian Stretch [2] in 2017. I try to motivate upstream to clean up its bugtracker and help fixing current issues and CVEs while I work on the fixes, I would like to minimize JasPer usage in openSUSE and use OpenJPEG [3] as a replacement when possible. OpenJPEG upstream seems more active and other distributions rely on it too. 1: https://github.com/mdadams/jasper 2: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2016/02/msg00734.html 3: http://www.openjpeg.org/
