Yes, you can turn on libjpeg.so.62 generation in jpeg-turbo; ncurses does something similar (producing both libncurses.so.5 and libncurses.so.6), but then again, it does not do that for for proprietary programs _either_. Like with libnl-1_1->libnl3, there was a bigger API change in ncurses5->ncurses6.
And it makes a difference if a closed source software needs a library compared to an open source software?
Try to see it from the users side. The only goal they have is to get something working.
If we're aware of a software requireing a particular library version and it's easy to offer and maintain such a build we should do it.
Anything else is going into the dogmatic direction.

Well, that's why I checked upstream's changelog, and I don't see any ABI-breaking changes mentioned. There could still be some, so someone with access to such third-party software depending on libjpeg should try and report the results. There's a high probability that it could still be supported with relative ease. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
