Hi fellow Debian Developers and Maintainers, this is just a mail to notice you of upcoming libgd2-dev transition.
Two things has happened with GD Library: 1. I have dropped the {xpm,noxpm} dichotomy and there's only libgd2-dev now. There are transitional packages which are ment to help with the move to libgd2-dev, so you don't have to make any changes right now - the binNMUs should work. 2. The upstream, which I accidentaly became part of, has released libgd-2.1.0-alpha1 today. This release has merged most of the code from PHP fork of the library (only some custom antialiasing stuff was not merged). But beware not, the API was kept backwards compatible. The ABI has remained same as well, but I have decided to bump the SONAME to 3, because I have implemented the GCC visibility magick, so only symbols, which were ment to be exposed, are exposed now. This would work with r-deps adhering to official API (e.g. gd.h), but it could accidentaly break some r-deps using internal functions, thus it was much safer to bump the SONAME. I will be uploading libgd2 >= 2.1.0~ to unstable soon, since it is needed for php5 transition, which is in turn needed for apache2.4 transition, so please when you upload new version of your package don't forget to change the Build-Depends: only to libgd2-dev.
