Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
If upstream don't consider this appropriate for the 5.6 branch then I am hesitant to include it in Ubuntu. In any case, I expect 5.7 to release in Xenial so the point could be moot for Xenial. This isn't a certainty yet though, and I'd certainly be happier carrying this in Xenial than in previous releases. For previous Ubuntu releases, we do as much as possible to minimise regression risk, so again I'm doubtful that this is justified. Users who want the speed boost can upgrade to Xenial and 5.7 when it is released, and in general this is the advertised path to get improvements, whereas stable releases are expected to be stable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for our policy. > nor does it have any custom server APIs Is it possible that users will have third party custom compiled things here? This isn't by any means a final decision and I welcome further discussion on this. My concern is that any change carries risk, and I'm not sure a performance boost is worth that risk. Most users don't require that since they are already deployed, and soon I'd expect new deployments to be using Xenial where the patch is applied anyway. ** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527105 Title: Performance: drop HANDLE_BLOCK_INTERRUPTIONS support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1527105/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
