Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Pierre Habouzit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: eaccelerator Version : 0.9.5~rc1 Upstream Author : Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.eaccelerator.net/ * License : GPL V2 Programming Lang: C Description : PHP opcode cacher and compilation optimizer eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, encoder 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. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

So, unless the legal issues have been resolved, this package will likely not be possible. The root of the problem is that the GPL is not compatible with the PHP license. There is no way around it, other than a clean rewrite of eacclerator by people who have not seen the mmchache-derived code. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

The CVS seems to tell a quite different story. Kind regards T. -- Thomas Viehmann, http://thomas.viehmann.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

BTW, I am hoping that this succeeds since I use this package personally and I would like to see it officially in Debian. If you are interested I can provide you with the source package that I created so that you are not reinventing the wheel. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
