Xapian discuss - Mar 2006 - Ubuntu Dapper packages

Hi all,

Daniele Favara was kind enough to package Xapian (and Pinot :-) for Dapper
and Xubuntu. I understand Daniele used cdbs to build these packages.
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/cdbs
I am not sure if the differences with the official packages built for Debian and
Breezy are significant...

Anyway, if you would like to give them a go, add the following to your
sources.list :

deb http://dsslive.org/xubuntu/ubuntu/ dapper xubuntu
deb-src http://dsslive.org/xubuntu/ubuntu/ dapper xubuntu

Cheers.

Fabrice

It would be handy to know what the differences are.  I had a look at the
site and the diffs unhelpfully seem to include all of the debian
subdirectory, but the only obvious change is that they just add a
useless template README.Debian.  And I guess they use cdbs instead of
debhelper from what you say above.

If there are any useful changes, we should incorporate them.  Having
rival packages is just confusing.
