Tom, > Is there a reasonable way to treat libstemmer as an external library?
Hmmm ... do we want to do that if we're distributing it in core? That would require us to have a --with-tsearch compile switch so that people who don't want to find & build libstemmer can build PostgreSQL. I thought the whole point of this feature was to have a version of Tsearch which "just worked" for users. As annoying as it may be to keep it updated, I think it's probably worth it from a user experience standpoint. However, we should definitely put the exact libstemmer C files, as distributed by the project, somewhere so that updating stemmer each time we do a patch release is simply a matter of download and rsync. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
