eAccelerator (fork of abandoned MMCache)

[hotgazpacho]

For those who don't know, Zend (The PHP Company) bought out TurckSoft and hired Dimitry Stogov, the maker of Turck MMCache. Dimitry has not done any work on MMCache (since it competes with the Zend Performance Sweet) in the last year, though unofficial development has continued. Recently, Dimitry has indicated his prefernce for a Fork of MMCache rather than handing over the reigns to someone else. So, a few developers, who have contributed to MMCache in the past, created a fork and called it eAccelerator. In version 0.9.1 right now, it is based off of MMCache 2.4.7-CVS, plus some recent patches, so it is quite mature. It supports PHP 4 and 5.

I have created an RPM for it using the latest release on SourceForge, and ART's php-devel 4.3.10 version. The RPM SPEC file I used is below. Scott can use this to compile an ART eAccelerator RPM (if he pleases), or I can figure out a way to post the RPM publicly. Note that I have NOT signed it with a GPG key, but I'd be willing to learn how if someone were to teach me!

Direct any RPM bug reports to me.
Direct any eAccelerator bug reports to the SourceForge Bug Tracking system for this project.

Have fun!

Cool hopefully we will see this in a art file

In the Spec file above, you should be able to replace:

Code: Select all

with

I don't know what to do with that code above

Do I copy it and save it with vi as..?

Sorry hehe

Well, first you have to set up your system to build RPMs as a non-root user. I don't have the details at hand, but you can Google rpmbuild.

Once you set up your environment, save the above code as eaccelerator.spec in your SPECS directory. Then, do a

Code: Select all

rpmbuild -bb eaccelerator.spec

That last part will make A LOT of sense once you figure out how to set up your environment to build RPMs as a non-root user.

Good luck!
