Hey Chris, Good question. With new package requests, we ask the requester to test the package before we move it into the stable repos. We want to make sure the package works and the requester really needs it before we are on the hook for maintaining it. It is not uncommon for someone to request a new package, then the scope of their project changes and they don't need it any more.
In regards to testing, we are not necessarily asking someone to test every feature and configuration option. We are more looking for a 'works for me' or give feedback for changes. -Ben -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of IUS Core Development, which is subscribed to IUS Community Project. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258608 Title: WL: php55u-pecl-memcached Status in IUS Community Project: New Bug description: I received a request via email for php55u-pecl-memcached. With all new package requests, we evaluate if it would be a good fit for IUS and if it is maintainable with our current resources. Seeing that we already have his module for php53u and php54, it makes the evaluation very straight forward. I have got an initial build and it has been tagged as test-candidate. It will be in placed in the testing repos tonight and can take around 24 hours to hit all the mirrors.
