I didn’t use distcc for quite a while. Usually modern dual or quad CPUs are fast in enough to compile in a reasonable time, but after compiling PHP 100 times, I wanted to make things faster and use distcc with my server which otherwise just idles around. My laptop, where I usually compile PHP, …
As I switched my main system recently from Linux to OpenSolaris I compiled PHP. Quiet obvious things are a little bit different on Solaris. The usual ./buildconf && ./configure && make install doesn’t work anymore. The good news: It’s not much harder. Let’s start to get the prequisites:

and various other patches. Some of these patches are on hold and not yet
applied. Therefore only a few people can take a look at the new features. Particularly because they scare patching PHP themselves …
Have you ever asked yourself how you can give PHP something back? Well for sure you can just start coding and help to improve PHP by doing bugfixes, or implementing new extensions. Maybe you don’t know C much, or maybe you don’t know how to start. So here is a great way to help …
For quiet some while, I play around with distributed version control systems. Particularly GIT. To think outside of the box I, sometimes try out mercurial. Mercurial works like a charm, only the lack of using a pager to display logs or other long output annoyed me. For sure I could define an alias or …
Today I released version 0.0.4 of gc-utils. The new version includes various smaller fixes and code cleanup as well as a small test suite. In addition to that, I added the gc-utils(1) command, which is a wrapper around the gc-import(1), gc-update(1), etc scripts.
