The first one is represented in dev-libs/memcached-api-php and a more recent (and maintained) version is a PECL version (dev-php4/pecl-memcache and dev-php5/memcache in the overlay). The PECL version is probably the best for most users. It's far faster and has more features. This post is serving as final notice: I intend to remove dev-libs/memcached-api-php from the tree on 2006-01-01 (New Year's Day). If you can't live without this package please make your case. Points against the package: o It's www home page no longer has a download link o Going through the directory of its home page (e.g., http://www.danga.com/memcached/dist/) there's no download link and only appears in an "old" subdir with a notice: "There are several notable bugs in the PHP clients in this directory. Newer versions from many people exist all over the web. See the mailing list. (Sorry, I'm not a PHP guy...)" o The PECL version is faster, maintained, and has more features --=20 Regards, Lisa Seelye GPG: 09CF5 2D6B8 2B72B 997A7 601BC B46B5 561E4 96FC5 http://www.thedoh.com/~lisa/site --=-xKhikZsqTV56THW6dCWW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDs84ry0a1Vh5Jb8URAg7lAJwKXIjL5oqKrBw6Fw4woLMqd3KidwCfWyNZ toc/wePVqrLXPtlOKj0V97k= =cP8x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-xKhikZsqTV56THW6dCWW-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
