Hi all,
We just removed the Ultrasphinx plugin from Gitorious in the
next branch. This plugin provides an interface to the Sphinx search
engine used in Gitorious.

Since we still use the same search engine backend, there are no
user-visible changes: all existing searches should still work like
before Ultrasphinx was removed.

However, if you maintain your own Gitorious server, you need to know
that the ultrasphinx:* rake tasks have been replaced by similar tasks
in the thinking_sphinx namespace. You probably have crontab entries
and/or init scripts that reference these tasks, and these will need to
be changed to keep working. The tasks you need to know about are:

- `rake thinking_sphinx:configure` will generate a Sphinx
   configuration file that can be used by Sphinx. The resulting file
   will be generated as =config/$RAILS_ENV.sphinx.conf=
   (ie. =config/production.sphinx.conf= for production server)
- `rake thinking_sphinx:index` will create/update your Sphinx index,
   based on the configuration file generated above
- `rake thinking_sphinx:start` will start your Sphinx daemon
- `rake thinking_sphinx:stop` will stop your Sphinx daemon

The complete list of rake tasks along with a description follows:

rake thinking_sphinx:configure      # Generate the Sphinx configuration file 
using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:index          # Index data for Sphinx using Thinking 
Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:rebuild        # Stop Sphinx (if it's running), rebuild 
the indexes, and start Sphinx
rake thinking_sphinx:reindex        # Reindex Sphinx without regenerating the 
configuration file
rake thinking_sphinx:restart        # Restart Sphinx
rake thinking_sphinx:running_start  # Stop if running, then start a Sphinx 
searchd daemon using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:start          # Start a Sphinx searchd daemon using 
Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:stop           # Stop Sphinx using Thinking Sphinx's 
settings
rake thinking_sphinx:version        # Output the current Thinking Sphinx version

Getting rid of Ultrasphinx was required to make Gitorious run under
Rails 3, and the plugin replacing it also runs under most (if not all)
Ruby versions.

Cheers,
- Marius
