Hey guys, I''ve just removed the -fno-stack-protector flag from the release so those who had trouble because of this should now be able to install 0.11.2-rc3. If you have any problems with this release, please let me ASAP. Cheers, Dave -- Dave Balmain http://www.davebalmain.com/

Hi ferreteers, I came across a segfault in the query parser. It had already been reported[1] and fixed[2], but it can lead to a denial of service. If you use Ferret anywhere that you allow users to execute queries, those users can crash your Ruby process with a specially crafted query. I''m sure you''re all using Monit or something for your Rails or drb processes, so

Hi, I''ve adapted my ferret_killer1.rb script to reproduce the segfaults I''m still having in my app with Ferret 0.11.3. ferret_killer1 didn''t reproduce these - I had to add code to retrieve the documents from the index after searching (and fixed the index creation bug Dave spotted). http://johnleach.co.uk/downloads/ruby/ferret/ferret_killer3.rb To use, in one terminal

Hi Dave, I''ve been getting some segment faults while running my tests using 0.10.14 gem so I decided to package the gem locally to add -dH and generate core dumps for you. So I followed instructions here http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/DownloadCurrent and first off ran the tests. I''m getting the following failures. (see this pastie http://pastie.caboo.se/34790). I

Is there a fast way to determine how many documents a term occurs in, besides iterating through every document with TermDocEnum? -- Best regards, Stian Gryt?yr

Hi folks, Just thought I better let you all know that I''m still working on the next release of Ferret. I''ve been working the last 7 days doing nothing but Ferret development. The last iteration generated a diff of almost 5000 lines so there are some pretty major changes. Most people won''t notice these changes however as the API remains unchanged. But if you were having

Hello, Here''s the code that segfaults: http://pastie.caboo.se/36467 I could have submitted a patch, but I''m not sure whether this segfault is caused by Ferret or Ruby. This seems to be triggered only when combining a split and a gsub on an empty string of the returned array, and trying to insert it directly into the index. However, there''s no problem when you

Hi, I noticed a 0.11.3 release and gave it a whirl. I''ve so far not been able to reproduce any segfaults with my ferret_killer[1] script, though I do get some errors. when the searching process is running and I start the indexing process, I immediately get: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.3/lib/ferret/index.rb:692:in `latest?'': File Not Found Error occured at

Hey folks, Sorry for cross posting like this but this is an important announcement for all Ferret users. ** Description ** Firstly for those who don''t know, Ferret is a full-text search library which makes adding search to your application a breeze. It''s much faster than MySQL full-text search as well most other search libraries out there. It allows you to do Boolean (+ruby +

Hi, I''m using ferret and running into troubles with it seg faulting during searches. The index I''m searching is static and is only updated in an offline way once every couple weeks. The segfault isn''t deterministically reproducible, but if I hammer ferret hard enough I can reliably get it to crash. The problem seems to have something to do with how memory is shared

Hello! I am developing a rails application in a test environment on Windows XP and recently upgraded to InstantRails 1.5. During the upgrade process, I went to install the latest ferret gem and realized that the latest gem compiled for Windows was 10.9. We upgraded our production environment (Ubuntu) to 11.1-rc2 successfully, but wanted to find out if we were going to run into any problems

Hi Folks, I''ve just released version 0.9.0. This latest version of Ferret is an alpha release. I have removed the old c extension and Ferret is now running on a fully ported C library. This has allowed some huge performance improvements both with regard to memory and CPU usage. There will probably be a few portability issues to start with. It has been developed on Linux so it should

Hello, I want to make a TAG CLOUD using ferret. How can i do so ? I would need to know the amount of keyword for every each words in the index. Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi guys, Having committed a fairly large project to ferret I''m a little concerned that ferret svn has been essentially unavailable for weeks (pretty much every time I try I get "can''t connect") and more so now that davebalmain.com has gone off the air. Without meaning to pry, does anyone know whether existing problems in ferret are likely to get fixed? (I can get

Hi, I''m adding some news articles to a keyed Ferret 0.10.14 index and encountering quite serious instability when concurrently reading and writing to the index, even though with just 1 writer and 1 reader process. If I recreate the index without a key, concurrent reading and writing seem to work fine (and indexing is about 10 times quicker :) I''m testing by running my indexing

Hey guys, I''ve been trying out ferret 0.9.3 on my powerbook this weekend and I''ve been triggering ''bus errors'' when using the Query API. If I programmatically build up strings, it works just fine. There''s some more information available in the trac ticket http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/62 Is anyone successfully using the Query API on

The ferret webpage at http://ferret.davebalmain.com/ has been down for a number of days. Any idea what''s going on? or how to notify the webmaster? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a lot of crashes when I try to use term vectors. Here''s an example, which crashes pretty consistently. This problem seems to be somewhat sensitive to platform... people on other OS''s and ruby versions have reported no error. I have seen this with ferret 0.10.13 and 0.10.14 on debian stable using ruby 1.8.2, but I have observed the same problem on various other systems as

Hi all, I''ve posted that few weeks ago but no one answered, but this feature is REALLY important for us. I have many objects with a url field, of course containing standards urls... I''m trying to match them but i actually got problems with that. Here''s a little code of what i would like to achieve: require ''rubygems'' require
