Bug#612341: bumblebee, libjpeg-turbo: Wheezy does not work well with modern notebook PCs.
Hi,
This ITP Bug #612341 was supposed to be closed by Fathi sometime early
January. Nothing happened. http://bugs.debian.org/612341
In the meantime, Ubuntu package was updated to generate -dev etc.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libjpeg-turbo
libjpeg-turbo (1.1.90+svn733-0ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low
* Install jpegint.h in the -dev package.
* Install jconfig.h in the multiarch include directory.

This package can be build on sid (under pbuilder) nicely practically as
is and also makes libjpeg-turbo8. So ABI of version 8 is taken care as
I understand.
Also, Mike Gabriel's work seems to have done somethings interesting on
old Fathi's version and made many improvements.
Concurrently, upstream has released newer libjpeg-turbo-1.2.0.tar.gz
So I do not understand why this is not uploaded. This is blocking
bumblebee support for wheezy. This makes the next Debian Wheezy
non-optimal for many modern notebook PC users since this is blocking
bumblebee upload.

It seems touching up Ubuntu package seems to be the simplest thing to
get this package into Debian before FREEZE (JUNE!).
Once this is done, all other required pieces are in Ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee
https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=precise
For Debian, http://suwako.nomanga.net/ is good archive. It works. (I
can not find source package for the virtualgl package here but above
Ubuntu site has it anyway.) I am using this package but wish to get it
into Debian.
Since no action has been taken for many months and FREEZE is coming, I
hope Fathi does not mind someone else uploading this package and get
things moving.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Osamu
