Hello,
>Debian's packages are >tuned for "as many features as possible"... Now that`s EXACTLY the reason we use it happily for our many users: Every single one demands another feature - no problem, debian will have it as a package ready in 99,9%! 8) Furthermore i would be suprised, if suddenly the majority of all debian users currently would really use apache2 "worker" instead of "prefork". ;) A long run survey would be really a good and democratic idea. Again, not only ZENDs products are rendered unusable by default on debian now - nearly EVERY third party module (PDFlib...). It`s not *that* hard to understand, why no serious programmer currently compiles his binary (esp. for commercial products that shall be wide spread) based on system with "--enable-experimental-zts" enabled. ;) Of course the affected php4 packages run with prefork as well - but technically without any real improvement to the "prefork" users. So all your current work and efforts - to manifest an *experimantal* flag for all users - focuses on a former *wishlist item* of a small minority. Those technically advanced and "geeky" users could much more easily recompile their packages for their "home and educational use" as well.., surely even more than the majority of 80+% of the "prefork and non-*expiremental*-zts production" users. ;-) :) Kind Regards Alexander Schories Tuebingen, Germany If privacy or security of communication is on your mind, feel free to establish a secure transmission using the PGP public key obtainable from http://www.schories.com/alexander/pubkey/alexander_schories.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
