Plan to drop php-pecl-apc from Fedora - Urgent review needed

[Remi Collet]

Hi,

PHP opcode cache is a very important feature for sites with large traffic.

APC is mostly a dead project.
No stable release for php 5.4, lot of issues.

Upstream move most of dev resources to new "Zend OPcache" which will be
the official opcode cache, integrated in PHP 5.5.0

To be able to drop this package, we need

1/ php-pecl-zendopcache, the Zend OPcache for php 5.3 / 5.4

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911111

Target version is EPEL-6 and Fedora <= 18 as Fedora >= 19 already have
php-opcache (subpackage of main php, same code)

2/ php-pecl-apcu, APCu, the drop-in replacement of APC for user data cache.
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928196

Target versions : Fedora >= 18 and EPEL-6

Please, review this.

Remi.
