merge/replace? about pecl-memcache

[carlwgeorge]

Is the move to friendsofphp/memcache going to happen at some point? I would like to subscribe to it.

Hi, I'd love to see a versioned release of this repo, as this has become the de-facto fork many downstream packagers are using

• Ubuntu as 3.0.9~20160311.4991c2f-5.
• Fedora as 3.0.9-0.3.20160311git4991c2f.fc26
• Brew - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/pull/3860 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/pull/4025

I'd suggest

• Move the NON_BLOCKING_IO_php7 branch to master at https://github.com/friendsofphp/memcache (or https://github.com/php/pecl-caching-memcache/tree/master ?)
• Tag and release v4.0.0 at 4991c2f to dis-ambiguate from the abandoned v3.x.x on pecl, to officially tag the "stable" point where these distributions have chosen anyway (or alternatively v3.0.9, but unless this becomes the official fork, think it's better to make a clean break)
• Tag and release master (the old NON_BLOCKING_IO_php7) at v4.1.0
• Use semver and keepachangelog for future releases

Thoughts? @websupport-sk @tomassrnka @szabolcsbalogh

I agree @pierrejoye. I'm in the middle of updating the original Memcached extension, and I'd like an extension that is maintained by a community as well. There are a lot of failed tests and compilation warnings, but the PHP7 API port compiles.

There doesn't seem to be any commits since Nov 2015. @szabolcsbalogh - can you confirm @pierrejoye's question?

hi

i tried again to contact pecl team, but without answer, so...

we can move the repo, and after i make a readme here, that it was moved (because of projects linked it, like Leaseweb/LswMemcacheBundle#53 (comment))

[willfitch]

@szabolcsbalogh - should be able to just make a PR from https://github.com/php/pecl-caching-memcache.

Is that right, @pierrejoye?

[pierrejoye]

@willfitch I prefer to actually move it to friendsofphp and really use github. The PHP org is only a mirror of git.php.net and PRs have to be manually merged along other little annoyances.

@szabolcsbalogh If you could add me as admin for this repo, I can then simply move it to friendsofphp/memcache, quick and without losing anything. And we can continue to maintain it there, using github issues trackers, PRs and co.

What do you think?

[pierrejoye]

Also github will redirect it as far as I remember, or we can create a new repo with only the README afterwards.

[szabolcsbalogh]

@pierrejoye you have been added as admin

[pierrejoye]

@szabolcsbalogh Thanks!

How would you like to proceed and when? :)

[szabolcsbalogh]

you can move it to friendsofphp/memcache as you wrote. Please left me at least collaborator access level after the move. You can move it any time.

[szabolcsbalogh]

@pierrejoye do you have any info about move?

[Gasol]

@pierrejoye Could you please move to friendsofphp/memcache and update link in pecl/memcache site.

There does not seem any progress on this. Can we fix the PHP 7.1 builds on Windows in the mean time? See #15

[tomassrnka]

@mtibben hi, I'm 100% up for it! How can we move it? I've already suggested to move it some time ago. Any ideas please?

[glensc]

looks like ping to @pierrejoye needed
