Hello NJ,

Thanks for taking the time to make this request.  In general we try not
to package software that is still in beta, but exceptions have been made
on a case by case basis.  APC is one of those exceptions, due to its
popularity.  It is unfortunate that APC has not left beta.  Even more
unfortunate, the recent update got pulled by the developer:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ius/+bug/1098124
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ius/+bug/1115670

Given ZendOpcache's position  in upcoming PHP releases, we should look
if it would be a good fit for IUS.  There is plenty of activity on their
github page, but it is still marked as beta within pecl:

http://pecl.php.net/package/ZendOpcache

I'll look further into this package.  Would you be available for
testing?

-Ben

Title:
  Zend OPcache package for PHP 5.2+

Status in IUS Community Project:
  New

Bug description:
  Using a PHP accelerator gives a drastic performance improvement in a
  PHP environment and the PECL package APC
  (http://pecl.php.net/package/APC) has historically been one of the
  best accelerators around.

  Latest stable version of APC is 3.1.9 but support for PHP 5.4 (current
  PHP stable) wasn't added until 3.1.10-beta and even latest version of
  APC 3.1.13 is considered beta.

  I don't believe we'll see much further updates to APC either as it has
  been decided that PHP 5.5 and onwards will include Zend OPcache
  (https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-5.5.0beta1/NEWS) which was
  recently open sourced (https://github.com/zend-dev/ZendOptimizerPlus)

  Zend OPcache is available, stable and supports PHP 5.2+
  For me it seems like a natural addition for IUS to add as a package at least for PHP 5.4, but perhaps also for older versions.
