Xapian discuss - Sep 2004 - Strange behavior from scriptindex.

<oasisminus 242> scriptindex --version
Usage: scriptindex [--help] [--version] [--overwrite] [-q] [-v]  <path 
to xapian database> <indexer script> [<filename>]...
Creates a new database containing the data given by the list of files.
The -q (quiet) option suppresses log messages.
The -v (verbose) option generates messages about all actions.
The --overwrite option causes the database to be created anew (the 
default is
to update if the database already exists).

Hopefully you don't have to create a new database just to check the 
version number.  8)

Hmm, looking at the code, --version is just aliased to --help.  That'd
be just about OK, except that --help doesn't show the version number
anywhere.

This isn't a new fault - it has been there since at least 0.7.4 - I suspect
it's probably always been that way.

I'll fix it.

In the meantime, the easiest way to see what version you have is
probably to look at the corresponding omindex version - they're
installed by the same "make install" command, so it's highly
unlikely
they'd be out of step.

Completely.  No mixing of  versions.

Jim.
