More observations on our new servers:

mysql is at least 10 times faster than before. good. wonder why.
dba has gdbm and db4 (berkeley), which is good. both seem to work fine.

apache and php are a fresh custom builds, not the default fc1 ones. good!

apache-1.3.33 and not apache-2. very good! (no threading problems with 
certain php libs)

php is 4.3.9, so the PCRE memory problems (while converting old markup) 
should be gone.

cron is enabled again. good.
I enabled the demo daily update again. with a better script which 
handles conflicts:
#!/bin/sh
cd ~/demo
cvs -n up 2>&1 |grep "^C " | cut -c3- > ~/cvsup.lst
for f in $(cat  ~/cvsup.lst); do
   mv $f $f.tmp
   cvs up -C $f 2>&1 | tee -a cvsup.log
done
cvs up 2>&1 | tee -a cvsup.log

you can also expect the nightly tarballs soon without CVS dirs as before.

php uses now the Turck MMCache-2.4.6 (30MB), which seems to be better 
than the APC cache as before. we will see.

xml-rpc is now built in, so our xml-rpc server will not work on sf.net 
until our library is fixed. low priority though.
Fixing SOAP has also low priority. Maybe this will gain more popularity 
with the new blogging stuff next year.

mbstring has bow with full native support, so we can finish our japanese 
and chinese demo sites soon. even ldap and imap is now enabled.
gd has no TTF support.

still no ming support for dynamic flash generation. but this can be done 
via external binaries. (similar to our current PDF generation)
I'm working on some kind of ActionScript plugin for better image galleries.
