Hi, before upgrade to php5.3.6 my /etc/php5/conf.d/memcache.ini was:
extension=memcache.so memcache.dbpath="/var/lib/memcache" memcache.maxreclevel=0 memcache.maxfiles=0 memcache.archivememlim=0 memcache.maxfilesize=0 memcache.maxratio=0 session.save_handler=memcache session.save_path=“tcp://127.0.0.1:11211?persistent=1&weight=1&timeout=1&retry_interval=15”
after upgrade: there is only one line:
extension=memcache.so
Looks like all settings in /etc/php5/conf.d/*.ini were reset…

@edd : please post this as comment of the PHP 5.3.6 note.
No configuration file should be overwritten by APT without confirmation. Anyway, backup file should be available in /etc/php5/conf.d/ with the dpkg-dist or dpkg-old extension.

Any info on the next redis update 2.2.7
Guillaume Plessis May 18, 2011
Hi,
I know that the redis packages are a bit outdated. Nginx, php5-apc and php5-memcache as well. MySQL 5.5 (or Percona Server, or MariaDB, I have not made a decision), on its side, needs a complete rework of the packaging method and I have to handle safe data migrations and no interference with previous installation.
Sorry guys, but Dotdeb is not “Packages on demand” and I need some free time to release new versions. I’m doing my best without a sponsor and without weighty donations.
Thanks for your understanding.

Can somebody please tell me how i can use the mysql sources in the repository??
I’m using Sarge 3.1 but apt-get update keeps giving errors..
deb http://archives.dotdeb.org sarge mysql
doesnt’ work :(
Guillaume Plessis May 18, 2011
@Koen : archives.dotdeb.org is just an archive, not a repository. You’ll have to fetch and install the packages manually.

I think that percona server is good choice.
Guillaume Plessis May 18, 2011
@tux : I think so, but their packaging method is not so good as their MySQL fork :)
Koen May 18, 2011
@Guillaume: tnx haha i’m still figuring out linux cause i’m trying to build a webserver on my xbox.. so forgive me hehe i’ll search some tuts on the manual install.

Hi! I use to use dotdeb, and want to install pinba, but I’ve nginx and ph5-fpm from dotdeb, and percona server 5.5 from percona repository Do you plan to support percona, or must I search how to install pinba on a percona server (I’m not a linux admin, I just search and install most interesting tool in its category)? Thanks for your site, really helpful.
Guillaume Plessis May 19, 2011
@Pascal : Percona is one of the fork I’d wish to maintain instead of MySQL for its 5.5 branch. But it requires a lot of work to repackage it in a pure Debian way.
Waiting this, you can rebuild the pinba-storage-engine against percona-server. If you need some help, drop me a mail : gui at dotdeb dot org

Thx for the new MySQL 5.1.57 packages!! :)

Hello Guillaume Plessis, I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful services, so many new packagse are often updated - really very useful for LAMP server (maybe now LNMP since nginx support).
But I wanted to ask one more question, do you plan on including the mysql 5.5 here? if so, maybe you have some estimates on this?
I know you do all this for free… but I just wanted to ask
thank you very much for an answer!

@Jaroslav :MySQL 5.5 will be included in Dotdeb, but I don’t know which fork I’ll include :
- I’m not at ease with Oracle’s MySQL 5.5, but the packaging method is about to be ready in a pure Debian or Ubuntu way. It should be easy to backport it for Dotdeb
- Percona is a great fork (the one I’d prefer), has good performances and great tools/addons, but their packaging method is far from the best for Debian. I’ll need time and a lot of work to include it
- MariaDB may have to much addons for its packaging process to be maintained by only one person (me).
I think you’ll find MySQL 5.5 on Dotdeb this summer. Waiting this, you can switch to percona using their own binary Debian packages.
