#47812 [Com]: undefined symbol: gdJpegGetVersionInt

ID: 47812 Comment by: oeriksson at mandriva dot com Reported By: oeriksson at mandriva dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Mandriva Linux PHP Version: 5.3.0RC1 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: 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? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:33:12] crrodriguez at opensuse dot org 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:18:51] rasmus@php.net Right, so you figured it out. You are talking to Pierre here. He is the upstream maintainer of the library. And the library is a PHP project. Telling us to do a better job pushing changes upstream (to ourselves?) doesn't make much sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:14:17] oeriksson at mandriva dot com Upstream gd is nowadays libgd.org and I read there "The library was originally developped by Thomas Boutell and is now maintained by Pierre-A. Joye under the umbrella of PHP.net.". Is this a problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:05:33] pajoye@php.net You missed my point. These distributions do not have updated libraries, or even worst for debian, they break the compatibility with the normal GD. I'm working to sync the external gd and php's gd so both can be used smoothly, but I have serious doubts that Debian will change, for example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:04:23] rasmus@php.net That argument completely falls apart if you do a bit of research on who the upstream for the gd library is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
