Package: php5 Version: 5.3.2-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream sid experimental patch
Dear valued maintainers, please compile future versions of PHP5 (5.3.x+) with MySQLnd support, as it: - doesn't break current PHP5 extensions, such as php5-mysql(i) or PDO_MYSQL at all! - comes with a superior license: PHP license, no need for FLOSS Exception any more - it's native: uses PHP memory management, supports PHP memory limit - it's oh so native: keeps every row only once in memory, with libmysql you have it twice in memory - comes with new features: keeps a long list of performance related statistics for bottle-neck analysis - comes with even more new features: persistent connections for ext/mysqli - offers considerable performance improvements compared to php5-mysql(i), for example when fetching buffered result sets, client-side result set cache (pre-alpha design study in Bazaar) - it's easier to compile: no more linking against libmysql - it's yet easier to compile: no need to have libmysql on the PHP build host Details can be found at: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php-mysqlnd/ http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PHP_MYSQLND#Advantages_of_mysqlnd Thank you so much for the amazing packages and support you donate to the whole debian community!
