I've posted a revised mifluz-merge snapshot. This version should be much more stable and I can confirm that it'll index all of htdig.org (including mailing list archives), run htfuzzy, htpurge, htmerge, htstat, and htnotify. There's still a memory leak hiding around in htsearch, so it often segfaults. Help with leak detection would be GREATLY appreciated! I would hope that at least for indexing, all the bugs are out. Please prove me wrong, so we can get this ready for wide-scale release. 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. -Geoff 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 indexing, faster searching lower memory requirements, etc. This will happen shortly. Let's fix bugs first. |
