Idea #9677: APC - Alternative PHP Cache by default

Written by mariuz the 9 Jun 08 at 08:46. Category: Server. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Include apc in ubuntu by default when php is installed
http://pecl.php.net/package/APC
It will be included by default in php6 so we need to act now with php5.x too
http://davidwalsh.name/upcoming-php6-additions-changes

performance increases and resource usage is decreased (cpu/load) so is the best for servers and admins

first stage wold be in creating an apc module for php

I dunno about by default.. Maybe in the repo's. It seems ubuntu server is targetted towards advanced admins at the moment who don't want anything installed by default. So +0 for now.

The only way we have to install things 'by default' when something else is installed is to 'depend' on them. One could have php5 'recommend' APC; depending on ones options, that could have the effect you're looking for. Getting it into the repos would probably be a better place to start, though.
