Mainly smaller size?

This is an update on the current status of the relicensing, but also an opportunity to give feedback. Sorry it's rather long, but I think it's necessary to summarise the situation - there are probably list members who weren't even born at the start of the history of this! Xapian is currently licensed as GPLv2+, but isn't something we actually chose for Xapian, but rather due to a

Unfortunately the change at which is started to fail was the addition of the new "honey" backend, which doesn't narrow things down to a useful degree. I've checked over

Hello, I would like to see Xapian used more widely in the PHP community. The major obstacle is that binaries of the PHP extension cannot be distributed. I've been reading earlier discussions on this and wonder if there's now an option. My starting points were https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/PHP%20Bindings%20Package and the discussion at https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/191. One comment

Hi, I've just noticed that set_max_wildcard_expansion() has been removed in favour of set_max_expansion() in Xapian. Has the new method been added to the Perl-bindings? We have some old Perl code that uses set_max_wildcard_expansion(), and I have a test of too large expansion that now returns "something terrible happened" instead of"Exception: Wildcard ... expands too much

This is a list with some libraries that I have been looking at. The idea is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of adding some of these libraries to Xapian. If anyone knows another library that could be add to the list it would be great!

hi, Olly Betts, Thank you for you answer. My xapian version is 1.2.8.

Hi all, We use xapian as the backend of our system. Now the data need be indexed ever-increasing, and the local mode is hard to maintain, so we plan to move the index builder to hadoop. We try to make xapian can be run in hadoop, and now met a problem that there are many seek operations when xapian writes the index files, but the method seek() in hadoop c api only support read, and we blocked by

Dear All, I've tried to build xapian-core 1.4.3 on MSYS2. It fails with attached error (undefined reference to `exp10'). I think it might be missing an explicit link to 'm'. I'm not able to fix this myself as I do not know autotools sufficiently well, but I hope you might be able to help. Cheers, Mario Emmenlauer -- BioDataAnalysis GmbH, Mario Emmenlauer Tel.

I think what i did is the same with you except i use make rather than make -sj8, and I did as root. And I do as you wrote again: root at hurricanetong-VirtualBox:/home/hurricanetong/xapian-1.2.17/xapian-core-1.2.17# ./configure [...] root at hurricanetong-VirtualBox:/home/hurricanetong/xapian-1.2.17/xapian-core-1.2.17# make -sj8 Making all in .

Hello, is there a way to optimize sorting by certain values for queries which return a huge amount of results? For example, I just want a simple query that gives me the 200 most recent emails out of millions. The elapsed time for get_mset increases as the number of documents ($n * 2000) increases. I suppose I could store a pre-sorted set using SQLite or similar. Thanks in advance for any

Hello, Compiling xapian-core-0.9.2 worked fine, and make check reported that the tests ran without problems (although it skipped some near the end). Now I'm trying to compile xapian-bindings-0.9.2 on OpenBSD 3.7 but have run into a problem. After hours of searching the net I haven't found a solution. For reference gcc -v gives the following output: Configured with: Thread model: single

Hello, I am hearing of users having trouble linking with libxapian (on slackware and gentoo systems, and 0.9.2 I think), and I am not too sure where the problem comes from, or what the correct solution could be, so I am just asking here in case someone has a quick answer. What happens is that "xapian-config --libs" outputs libstdc++.la in the list of libraries. Something like:
