Comment 1 Frank Krömmelbein 2014-07-08 13:45:01 UTC
Possibly a trivial bump, this works for me:

I assume the Gentoo ebuilds don't use the bundled libraries, so there is effectively no security issue here. Just a version bump.
Comment 3 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-07-12 00:34:33 UTC
Figured out they use newer versions of some packages; other than that, somewhere hidden away I think it auto-magically uses jpeg 9a which I need to look into.

Other than that, the bump indeed is trivial.

Nobody is actively working on bug 479818, and it's missing a lot of bugs (missing a lot of testing because jpeg-9 weren't in ~arch for long)
So, I suppose if you are going to force jpeg-9 as a VLC dependency, you are volunteering to do all the jpeg-9 porting bugs in other packages as well :p
Comment 5 Ulenrich 2014-08-09 21:06:18 UTC
I use libjpeg-turbo-1.3.1
libjpeg-turbo is jpeg8 ?
Kind of an answer at http://www.libjpeg-turbo.org/About/FUD
"Our code is not a fork of libjpeg v7/v8 but rather a fork of libjpeg v6b, although we do incorporate some of the libjpeg v7/v8 code in order to emulate the backward-incompatible ABI introduced by those more recent releases."

My locally renamed ebuild from vlc-2.1.4 to vlc-2.1.5 
- did compile
- works (Just watching videos, I don't do special things)

@Tom, reading http://www.libjpeg-turbo.org/About/Jpeg-9
makes me wonder why vlc changed policies ?

but a dep to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479818

So how is it going on?
