Hey Chris,

Good question.  With new package requests, we ask the requester to test
the package before we move it into the stable repos.  We want to make
sure the package works and the requester really needs it before we are
on the hook for maintaining it.   It is not uncommon for someone to
request a new package, then the scope of their project changes and they
don't need it any more.

In regards to testing, we are not necessarily asking someone to test
every feature and configuration option.  We are more looking for a
'works for me' or give feedback for changes.

-Ben

Title:
  WL: php55u-pecl-memcached

Status in IUS Community Project:
  New

Bug description:
  I received a request via email for php55u-pecl-memcached. With all new
  package requests, we evaluate if it would be a good fit for IUS and if
  it is maintainable with our current resources. Seeing that we already
  have his module for php53u and php54, it makes the evaluation very
  straight forward.

  I have got an initial build and it has been tagged as test-candidate.
  It will be in placed in the testing repos tonight and can take around
  24 hours to hit all the mirrors.

  See the following for information on how to use the testing repo:
