Thanks Pierre,
I'm looking forward to a gd with all the bling-bling that's in the
bundled gd in php, as well as with libzip.
The private changes in the bundled libmagic library (file-5.x) is also
quite annoying.

Please do not use this report to discuss other topics.
But to answer your questions, yes, they are provided as patch upstream
as well and we try to keep everything synced as much as possible.
But they tend to stay behind for some fixes, especially edge cases for
crashes or windows support. You can follow the libzip mailing list if
you are interested.

Thanks Pierre,
What about the private changes in libzip? Will you be able to sync that
with upstream as well?

There is work being done in libgd.org to bring 2.1.0 out (which should
be synced with php). All fixes are done in both libraries (thanks Tabe
for taking care of most of them) and many features have made their way.
By the way, if the tempo is too slow, you can always give us a hand.
I'm not willing to begin again a discussion with the Debian maintainer,
I tried many times without success.

Excuse me for bothering you with petty issues.
Why is it the bundled libgd is not in sync with the more "official"
libgd as you are the sole upstream maintainer? gd hasn't had a new
release since 2007-11-28, and none of the bling-bling found in the
bundled libgd has found its way into any official libgd release.
There are other bundled libraries. What about them then and private
changes?

Pierre: is there any summary on what has to be done exactly to sync
both libraries so distributions can just ship one copy of libgd ?
Maybe all interested parties can hack into it.
