After the change in JPEG XL, where they removed jpegli from the package and moved it to a different repository, we lost it from NixOS. There is a pull request to add it back, but it hasn’t been reviewed for a long time.
master ← jwillikers:jpegli
opened 03:52AM - 02 Jun 25 UTC
[jpegli](https://github.com/google/jpegli) is an improved JPEG encoder and decod… er implementation.
Fixes #361872
