Sounds OK, but perhaps we should have the other guy become involved with maintenance of that package in Extras? Maybe work with him in future maintenance?



"The other guy"? If you're talking about the person who reported the change and asked to get php-eaccelerator packaged, well, he also contacted me in private asking if I'd consider packaging it on freshrpms.net too. His spec file is based on my php-mmcache one, with very recent SuSE-compatibility defacing he accepted from someone else, that we most certainly don't want. I think he became the "rpm packager" for their project "by default" more than anything else (not that I mean anything negative by that, and it's just my impression).



I'm that guy. I would be nice to see eAccelerator included in fedora extras. I builded those packages for me to test eAccelerator, I contributed them to the project and I'm the person who helps them with building packages and things like that. I don't have much experience in these things. I would like to help out with this package if it's neccesary but it's not that I would like to maintain this. Matthias has done this before for mmcache and the project hasn't changed much.
The next release would be round the 10th of february.


I am a bit concerned about the burden of the large number
of packages under your sole maintainership. =)



...but that's not counting all of those packages that I'd like to reclaim maintainership of! ;-)



Would php-mmcache be Obsoleted and removed then?



Why not. But there is no reason to kick it out immediately, but surely in the not-so-distant future since mmcache isn't PHP5 compatible, whereas eaccelerator is.



Mandrake has removed mmcache from cooker and eaccelerator will be in 10.2 .

Thanks for including it,

Bart
