Package: php5
Version: 5.3.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream sid experimental patch
Dear valued maintainers,
please compile future versions of PHP5 (5.3.x+) with MySQLnd support,
as it:
- doesn't break current PHP5 extensions, such as php5-mysql(i) or
PDO_MYSQL at all!
- comes with a superior license: PHP license, no need for FLOSS
Exception any more
- it's native: uses PHP memory management, supports PHP memory limit
- it's oh so native: keeps every row only once in memory, with
libmysql you have it twice in memory
- comes with new features: keeps a long list of performance related
statistics for bottle-neck analysis
- comes with even more new features: persistent connections for
ext/mysqli
- offers considerable performance improvements compared to
php5-mysql(i), for example when fetching buffered result sets,
client-side result set cache (pre-alpha design study in Bazaar)
- it's easier to compile: no more linking against libmysql
- it's yet easier to compile: no need to have libmysql on the PHP
build host

Thank you so much for the amazing packages and support you donate to
the whole debian community!
