[Bug 480545] [NEW] memcached hopelessly out of date

[dormando]

Public bug reported:

The version of memcached bundled with ubuntu 9.04 was 1.2.2. This
version is over three years old and is loaded with bugs and absent of
many useful features.

Forward versions of memcached are backwards compatible. It would be
*very nice* to have the latest release, 1.4.3, available to 9.04. As far
as the move from 1.2.2 to 1.4.3 is concerned, it is fully backwards
compatible. There are many new startup options, but no old ones have
changed. --enable-threads is no longer necessary, but does not error
when attempting to build.

If crossing to 1.4 isn't possible, it would be great if 9.04 could at
least make it to 1.2.8. We're getting a *lot* of bug reports from users
with software that is horribly out of date.

Thank you.
