[Xapian-discuss] omindex generates incorrect md5 checksums on bigendian platforms
On big-endian architectures (e.g. sparc, hppa, armeb), omindex in 0.9.9 and earlier generates incorrect MD5 checksums. Apply this trivial patch to fix the problem: http://www.oligarchy.co.uk/omega-md5-bigendian-fix.patch If you aren't needing to interoperate with other MD5 implementations and aren't worried about compatibility on upgrade, there's no need to worry right away - the checksums generated are consistent for a given input and shouldn't collide often. I've added this (and the MacOS X .jnilib requirement) to the release notes: http://wiki.xapian.org/ReleaseNotes Cheers, Olly
