For a while the memcached community has had several PHP APIs. The first |
| 2 |
one is represented in dev-libs/memcached-api-php and a more recent (and |
| 3 |
maintained) version is a PECL version (dev-php4/pecl-memcache and |
| 4 |
dev-php5/memcache in the overlay). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The PECL version is probably the best for most users. It's far faster |
| 7 |
and has more features. |

This post is serving as final notice: I intend to remove |
| 10 |
dev-libs/memcached-api-php from the tree on 2006-01-01 (New Year's Day). |
| 11 |
If you can't live without this package please make your case. |

|
| 13 |
Points against the package: |
| 14 |
o It's www home page no longer has a download link |
| 15 |
o Going through the directory of its home page (e.g., |
| 16 |
http://www.danga.com/memcached/dist/) there's no download link and only |
| 17 |
appears in an "old" subdir with a notice: "There are several notable |
| 18 |
bugs in the PHP clients in this directory. Newer versions from many |
| 19 |
people exist all over the web. See the mailing list. (Sorry, I'm not a |
| 20 |
PHP guy...)" |
| 21 |
o The PECL version is faster, maintained, and has more features |
