Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. Commercial license is also available for embedded use.
Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL or PostgreSQL, or using XML pipe mechanism (a pipe to indexer in special XML-based format which Sphinx recognizes). Sphinx can be downloaded from http://www.sphinxsearch.com Debian packages are being developed out of http://launchpad.net/pkg-sphinx and have a package repository at: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkg-sphinx/ubuntu gutsy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkg-sphinx/ubuntu gutsy main (I realize that's an ubuntu repos... I'm making lenny packages, too - I just can't put them there) Sphinx Search is licensed under the GPLv2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
