Xapian discuss - Jan 2011 - replicating a compacted database

Suppose that I'm indexing on a database foo, and I'm replicating it to 
another database bar using xapian-replicate. If I compact foo and 
produce foo2, can I safely use xapian-replicate on foo2 to bar? The 
version in question is 1.2.4.


Thanks,
Wes

Yes - each database has a UUID, and if this is different, then a full
copy of the new database is transferred.

This isn't really clearly stated in the docs that I can see - I'll add
something about it.
