Hi Does any one in this alias has any update on when 'memcached' component is going to be integrated within SXDE. I would like to evaluate Memcached support within PHP and for this I need Memcached packages . Last I heard, there was a discussion on the proposed ARC case. I haven't seen any updates on this component. Can some one kindly update me on the availability of this component
