Description:
We use php-memcache extensively, but cannot use the package in archlinux since 3.0.7 segfaults too often. Why is the stable 2.2.7 not in the repository? |

Reason for closing: None
Additional comments about closing: Segfaults have been fixed so we'll continue using the 3.0.x branch.

I also see that both Debian and CentOS have 3.0.x in their stable repositories [2]. This makes me somewhat hesitant to go back to 2.2.x.

[2] Albeit slightly older releases; 3.0.4 in Debian Squeeze and 3.0.5 in CentOS 6.4.
Although I am happy with Archlinux packages being generally the latest available version; in this case php-memcache 3 has not had a stable release and has a known bug for a few months; so I would be in favor of supplying a stable version 2 instead. If you disagree I will happily create a php-memcache2 in the AUR for myself to use.
Can you give it a try and see if it works well with your code base?
I see them as two separate branches, with 3.0.x having more features (and sometimes an additional bug or two).
Glad to hear 3.0.7-2 has been working well for you; I'll go ahead and close this task.
