I've almost completed the new PHP eclasses for mod_php and CLI php. |
2 |
I just wanted to discuss a possible new global USE flag. |
3 |
|
4 |
informix - Provides support for IBM Informix server |
5 |
|
6 |
This would compliment the current 'oci8' for Oracle. |
7 |
Once we also get other packages for informix, then will greatly increase |
8 |
our appeal to the enterprise market :-). |

Previously, Tal (coredumb) made enquries about the a memlimit flag on |
11 |
-core. (Subject: '[gentoo-core] Memory limit useflag' Date: 23? Apr). |
12 |
Nobody at all responded to the message, so I'm going to just repeat the |
13 |
just of it here. |
14 |
|
15 |
This was originally in response to bug #18890. PHP supports a memory |
16 |
limit option that puts some memory usage limits into place (similar to |
17 |
ulimit). |
18 |
|
19 |
We want to push this to a USE flag as it does cause a visible |
20 |
performance hit for the increase in security it provides. |
21 |
|
22 |
From a little research on Google, it seems that both TeX and PostGres |
23 |
support memory limit stuff to some degree (I did not dig much beyond the |
24 |
first page linked off google). |
25 |
|
26 |
Any comments about it? Notes that other packages support a memory limit |
27 |
would be helpful too. |
28 |
|
29 |
Given the utter lack of response to Tal's previous email to -core, if I |
30 |
don't get any answer on these by saturday, I'll look at including them |
31 |
myself as they are needed for the new PHP ebuilds. |
