Public bug reported: Binary package hint: memcached
Availability: package has been in universe a long time. Rationale: Memcached is nearly ubiquitous in distributed web application design today. Its design is simple and its record for stability is incredibly high. We've included having it in main as one of our improvements for support of "Web 2.0" stacks in Maverick: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-uds- web20-workloads Security: * There are no open security issues at this time, and all previous issues have been resolved quickly upstream. * The rate of security issues has been fairly low, given the amount of exposure memcached has had, this is a good measure of the code quality. * While in the past there was no way to protect memcached other than firewall, they have recently added optional SASL authentication to allow it to be run on a public network safely. Quality assurance: * bugs * There are no open important debian or ubuntu bugs. * test suite does not currently run, bug opened: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memcached/+bug/586632 UI standards: N/A Dependencies: All dependencies are in main: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libevent-1.4-2 (>= 1.4.13-stable), perl, lsb- base (>= 3.2-13) Standards compliance: Package appears to be in full compliance with required standards. Maintenance: This is a very simple package and will not require complex maintenance.
