Bug#818218: saga: Jasper removal

[jmm at debian.org]

Source: saga
Severity: important
User: jmm at debian.org
Usertags: jasper-rm

Hi, jasper will be removed from Debian for the stretch release (and
following that, the archive in general).

It's been unmaintained for nearly a decade, please als see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=812630

Your package uses jasper, so please either remove the JPEG2000
functionality or move to a supported implementation (e.g. openjpeg or
ffmpeg).

A removal tracker has been setup by the release team at
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/jasper-rm.html

This bug will be bumped to release-critical status in a few weeks.

Cheers,

Moritz
