[htdig-dev] Re: mifluz merge snapshot 2002-08-03

[Geoff H. <ghu...@ws...>]

This version of ht://Dig is an experimental snapshot of 3.2.0b4 including
a new version of the mifluz backend. With help testing this and beating 
out some bugs, I'll pour it into the main CVS repository. So if you're 
willing to try very bleeding edge code (i.e. may not compile or run 
correctly), some feedback would be very helpful.

The snapshots will be left in <http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/> 
but there's no script--I'm rolling them by hand as needed. I doubt I'll 
ever have time to roll more than one a day, so I'm not concerned by the 
date stamp. :-)

If you'd like to give it a spin, please see below, particularly about 
libiconv--which will eventually have to be bundled much like the 
Berkeley DB or how we bundled librx.

CAVEAT LECTOR:
* Some additional software may be required for compilation and/or 
running this
  version. Currently, known requirements are:
   - libiconv: <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/>

  Automake 1.6.3 and Autoconf 2.53 are required for updating/revising 
config and
  Makefiles. Older versions will cause problems in building.
* This version is extremely experimental. Don't blame me if it eats your 
files,
  disks, RAM, OS, etc. I doubt it, but I'm not making any promises.
  (NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.)

* This version has received limited testing, so there are likely tons of 
bugs.
  Please report them to me or htd...@li... so they can 
be squashed.

* Not all features are implemented, e.g. revised documentation, faster 
searching
  lower memory requirements, etc. This will happen over time.
