Arch Linux User Repository

The GitHub repository has been archived by the owner on Apr 1, 2024. It is now read-only.

From the developer on GitHub:

MozJPEG has the same optimisation built-in and is faster, so we recommend using MozJPEG when possible.

Should conflict with jpegcrush:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
jpgcrush: /usr/bin/jpegrescan exists in filesystem (owned by jpegrescan-git)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Please add jpegcrush to the conflicts array.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

@jstoik1 Thanks for passing on the torch!

Thanks @Marcouney!

I actually don't have any active Arch installs at the moment, so I went ahead and disowned the package. If you would like to adopt it, I'm sure other users would appreciate it. :)

PKGBUILD should be sanitized: the build() function is useless, here, as we are just grabbing a file — the Perl script —; besides, the date in $pkgver should not be hardcoded but generated by a pkgver() function. I suggest the following modifications:

source=("git+$url.git")

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
  git describe --long --tags | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
  mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
  cp $_gitname "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
}

If you insist that $pkgver contains the date of the last commit, put this in pkgver():

git log -1 --format=%cd.%h --date=short|tr -d -

or

git log -1 --format=%cd --date=short|tr -d -
