Hi, Hoping that someone on this list can answer: There hasn't been a new release for a while. On top of that I have some inside information that the lead developer for this project has been employed by Zend a while ago, He will not continue developing MMCache, I've been told. In CVS however there is still some activity (2 weeks ago), so is MMCache still being developed or should it be considered (soon to be) dead and should we look for alternatives? I am not a programmer, but do have a fair good understanding of Linux, PHP, MySQL etc. I am willing to contribute to save this project, if needed.

Argh. I've had only bad experiences with Zend (it's incredible how far they're willing to go to sell their proprietary software that costs more than the hardware it runs on in most cases!) and after using many different php "accelerators" (php-accelerator, apc, others I don't even remember), I finally stopped on mmcache as it was completely free software and actively developed. It will/would indeed be a real loss to not see it developed any further, except for Zend of course...

Hi Mathias, I have not received any response but yours. This does not look good. Last activity in CVS is now 4 weeks ago. I CC'ed some of the registered developers for this Sourceforge project. Maybe one of them can shed some light on this situation? Best regards, -- Matthijs van der Klip System Administrator Spill E-Projects The Netherlands |

I don't know, but luckily one of the beauties of free software is that it'll never disappear completely :-) Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) - Linux kernel 2.6.3-2.1.253 Load : 0.38 0.22 0.21 |
