>> I'm working on this ITP: >> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695255 >> Is it ok to distribute xapian index with Upstream Source file? >Please include some more information about your situation. >Why is the xapian index needed at all? dualword is a foreign language vocabulary trainer. There is original index with words in /usr/share/dualword/index and user can create a copy in .dualword/index where user statistics is stored. >How long does it take to generate the xapian index? >How large is the xapian index? I've started this project a couple of month ago and index is quite small ~1mb >Do we have the tools to build the xapian index in Debian? I know we >have xapian in Debian but there may be some preprocessing tools needed >for passing data to xapian. >Are xapian indices architecture-specific or architecture-independent? a quote from http://xapian.org/features: "Platform independent data formats - you can build a database on one machine and search it on another. " >In general, generated files (like xapian indices) should be built at >package build time or even at runtime depending on the situation. It's the reason why I'm asking. I'll have to make some changes if it's a requirement. thanks, Alex. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
