[oi-dev] libjpeg-turbo and VLC

[Thomas Wagner]

Hi Aurelien,

only I wish the extra packages for multimedia will continue
to live together in a separate repository. As an extra software
stack the user can decide to use or not.
(jpeg this time looks more towards the basic OS, and is non-critical,
while vlc and codecs is not)

Reason for this is, that every added package which is not 
really core to the basic OS is a potential conflict to SFE. 
As already known, SFE tries to cover several OS in parallel
while keeping the number of exceptions for a single OS-distro
as low as possible.

Regards,
Thomas
