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
We have our chrome builds, do not use Google's build, unfortunately vendors, as odd it may sound, having millions of dollars and huge staffing have zero clue about how to deliver working/correct rpms.
Many people, myself included, prefer to use Google's own upstream build. Similarly for a number of other packages. One reason is that our builds of chromium are not updated on the same schedule as upstream. Also our builds enable a number of unstable features that upstream does not. The fact that openSUSE is in third place means that in order to follow third-party apps that don't want to have a dedicated openSUSE channel means that we should follow what first (Ubuntu) and second (Fedora) are doing for their major underlying libraries. That's not a criticism of openSUSE, it's just the reality of our position in the community. The more we deviate the more third-party apps (and proprietary apps) will break on our distro, which unfortunately will make us less relevant, not more. There are other good reasons to use libjpeg-turbo, namely the 2-4X speed (also battery) improvement. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
