Details
Description:
Arch currently builds libraw with jasper support enabled. Unfortunately, jasper is currently unmaintened upstream and it is unlikely that this will change [1]. There are numerous open CVEs that are unlikely to be fixed. On the other hand, libraw upstream considers jasper support to no longer be critical, so that it should just be build without it [2]. Lots of other distros have already dropped jasper altogether (Debian, Ubuntu, NixOS, Alpine, OpenSUSE) and I think Arch should do so as well [1],[3]. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any [1] https://github.com/mdadams/jasper/issues/208 [2] https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/issues/69 [3] https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130404 Steps to reproduce: |
