[Xapian-discuss] perl bindings

Hi All,

When are the XS-based Perl bindings going to be deprecated in favour of
the SWIG bindings?


Please remove the dead RHEL RPMs from:
http://xapian.org/download

I've built RPMs for RHEL5/CentOS5 (with a different signing key) here:
http://rpm.eprints.org/xapian/5/
RHEL4 is eol and shouldn't be used.

For my own convenience I have written an RPM for the repository:

rpm -ivh
http://rpm.eprints.org/xapian/5/noarch/rpm-eprints-org-xapian-5-1.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install xapian-core

Which will tie users to rpm.eprints.org but the RPM could be trivially
rewritten to xapian.org.
(NB CentOS expects /5/ whereas RHEL expects /5Server/)

All the best,
Tim.
