[Bug 74647] Re: php5-gd not using bundled GD library

[Pierre]

hi,

As of 5.3.0 it is possible to compile php with the external GD while
keep having the new features (most of them at least, like imagerotate
or imagefilter). That won't fix the non fixed bugs in debian's gd or
the bad patches (afair, it affects only debian, ubuntu being smarter
when it comes to sec fixes) but it will at least give the ubuntu users
all the features they are expecting.

Cheers,
