Bug#445998: ITP: eaccelerator -- PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Alexander Gerasiov [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: eaccelerator Version : 0.9.5.2 Upstream Author : eaccelerator team http://eaccelerator.net/wiki/Team * URL : http://eaccelerator.net * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times. Some dummy packages available for now in my repository at http://gq.net.ru/debian I'm going to upload it after fixing some packaging issues. Feel free to kick me by mail, if I'm too slow. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (700, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (700, 'testing'), (670, 'proposed-updates'), (670, 'stable'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-vserver-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Zend produces a proprietary (and expensive) accelerator-sort of product for PHP. It is doubtful that they would enable the distribution of something that they would see as competing with their product. I seem to recall that the people who took over eaccelerator had it in mind to do a complete rewrite of the eccalerator code to break any link with turck-mmcache, allowing them to relicense eaccelerator. If that rewrite is complete, then the software may be distributable. However, I have not looked into it for quite a while. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

That's why it's still unavailable in Debian =\ I didn't knew about PHP Licence incompatibility with GPL before. So what do you guys think about wrapper package, which allows installing eaccelerator like $ make-eaccelerator-package ? As I understand all this legal issues it will be ok. -- Best regards, Alexander GQ Gerasiov Contacts: e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://gq.net.ru
