As some of you may have noticed we've put facebook's version of memcached up on github
http://github.com/fbmarc/facebook-memcached We've done this for a couple of reasons. First, as far as we know, we run the largest installation of memcached in the world. We think this is true in terms of ops/secs, number of objects, amount of RAM, and number of servers. To get memcached to support these levels we've had to make a lot of customizations. We believe the memcache community would appreciate seeing what we've done. Second, a less complete repository of our version of memcached was already up on github. We thought it would be better to have a repository with our complete revision history both for our production version and our attempt at integration with the 1.2.5 release. As far as licensing goes. memcached was released under the BSD license. We cannot change that even if we wanted to. It goes without saying that we don't want to. Finally, I produced these branches by running git-svn and git-filter- branch against our internal SVN repositories. The addition of the root "src" directory and the lack of a clear branch from 1.2.3 make comparison with existing branches unnecessarily difficult. I apologize for the inconvenience. I will redo the git svn extraction to correct those issues later this week. In the mean time I hope you will let us know what you think and what else we can do to make memcached even better. We at facebook would be happy to discuss questions and issues about our release in this group. Thanks
