-Subject: zathura-pdf-mupdf: Link to JPEG libraries.
-
-As of version 0.3.3, zathura-pdf-mupdf no longer links to some required
-JPEG libraries, leading to such errors as:
-
-  $ zathura foo.pdf
-  error: Could not load plugin '/gnu/store/...-profile/lib/zathura/libpdf-mupdf.so' (/gnu/store/...-profile/lib/zathura/libpdf-mupdf.so: undefined symbol: jpeg_resync_to_restart).
-
-The patch below, copied verbatim from Arch[0], fixes that.
-Its description happens to match our reality, too.

-Subject: [PATCH] Explicitly link against jbig2dec, openjp2, and jpeg
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

-Normally these are statically linked into libmupdfthird, but we delete
-those to make mupdf use the system libraries.  Previously
-zathura-pdf-mupdf explicitly linked against them, but this is
-technically incorrect since they are supposed to be in libmupdfthird so
-that was removed.  This commit essentially reverts that in the new build
-system.
