Xapian Developers, I suggest a small xapian GSoC project to get xapian-bindings for perl to pass tests on Slackware Linux 14.0, with a follow up on version 14.1. The xapian-bindings 1.2.21 failed a number of perl tests on 14.0, and with 1.2.22 still fail. I cannot be involved in the project. Sincerely, Eric Lindblad

I've checked back through the mailing lists, but I can't find any test failure output. If you have any handy, I can attach that to a new bug report, or if not I'll open it without that detail. Either way we can point people towards it. J -- James Aylett, occasional trouble-maker xapian.org
