Hi all,

I'm disowning this package for the following reasons:

  • The project is basically dead, no commits in 6 months.
  • The project maintainer hasn't rebased it on libjpeg-turbo 3.0, making this package basically useless because it's designed to replace the system's dynamically linked libjpeg: https://github.com/mozilla/mozjpeg/issues/437
  • A new JPEG encoder called JPEGLI is released and basically eats Mozjpeg's lunch on every single image I've tested. It's much superior. I strongly recommend anyone who needs a JPEG encoder to switch to this; an encoder cjpegli is included in the libjxl package in extra.

Unfortuantely, jpegli is not (yet) a drop-in replacement for libjpeg, because it is also based on the 2.0 version of libjpeg-turbo.

For comparisons between JPEGLI and MozJPEG (and other codecs), please check https://afontenot.github.io/image-formats-comparison/#sunset&JPEGLI=l&MOZJPEG=l

The package is named mozjpeg. You can check that it's installed by running pacman -Q mozjpeg. If you're locating for the encoding and decoding programs, they are /usr/bin/cjpeg and /usr/bin/djpeg respectively. This is because mozjpeg is a replacement for libjpeg. You can find this sort of thing out in the future by typing pacman -Ql mozjpeg.

Under what name and directory is this package installed? I can't find it on the command line.
