SR#726173 did so far not get accepted. Copying comments here to have everything in one place. maintainer: I don't think it is a good idea to drop JPEG2000 support completely. me: Yes please comment this on https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1144260 which was opened quite some time ago. Like also mentioned there there are upstream issues: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/14145 https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/10453 https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/5849 and jpeg2000 is not really a popular format so i dont think opencv suffers a lot when its disabled. debian, gentoo, alpine also are disabling this as we speak. debian actually did years ago. maintainer: Jpeg2000 is quite popular in the geo sciences.
