I agree strongly with that principle. Two questions: A. What has been done thusfar WTR reviving upstream development? B. In the meantime, how should I support jpegtran? Bundle a custom binary in the subpackage and patch the module, or let it sit with known partial functionality? On a tangential note IIRC this patch is in Debian's libjpeg, not that that should be any sort of guideline for us, I'm just putting it out there. > regards, tom lane > -- in your fear, speak only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
