Description Baxter Kylie 2009-10-12 19:07:34 UTC 
Hi. This is more of a request than a bug that the jpeg-compat package receive a bit more attention either by means of a news item or some adjusted use-flags / dependencies.

My issue arose when I went through the update from jpeg 6x to 7 and later tried to compile qt-3.x which failed miserably as it looks for libjpeg.so.62. In the interest of making things easier for users so they don't have to dig through error logs and spend a couple hours searching for a solution putting up a news item about the jpeg transition would be fantastic. Alternately I guess this could be solved by editing the use flag around the qt library or the jpeg ebuild to include something like 'jpeg62support' which would pull in the compat package.

Reproducible: Always
