Sorry for the late reply, I was away last week.

I have just tried the SVN 8400 snapshots and found two issues with RPM
packaging.
- omega.spec needs to be patched (see end of this email) because the source
  is now tarballed as xapian-omega.
- shouldn't the bindings be numbered 0.9.10_svnXXX instead of 0.9.10.1_svnXXX ?
  This messes up dependencies.
I'll try the current snapshots during the week and report any problem
I run into.

Cheers.
