Just a quick note for the developers, so we can find this in the list archives when we need it... Xapian is now pointing at a mirror of the swig SVN repository, hosted on the same machine as xapian. This avoids having to contact a separate machine whenever doing a full svn update, and means checkouts should happen faster (since sourceforge is pretty slow...) and we're no longer at risk of checkouts failing due to sourceforge being down. The mirror updates nightly, or can be updated to the latest version immediately if you have an atreus account (and get added to the list of permitted users - currently me, olly and james) by running: userv richard swigsync -- Richard
