[Xapian-discuss] REPLY: make check xapian-bindings-1.2.21 & Search-Xapian-1.2.21.0

[Eric Lindblad]

Dear Olly Betts,

I think the tests for the perl module Search-Xapian-1.2.21.0 might be fewer in number than the perl tests included with xapian-bindings-1.2.21. If some of the tests have similar but modified content I do not know. I am not so skilled as to interpret the compared test results.

If you want to suggest a paired earlier version of Xapian to a specific xapian.bindings version,
I might run those bindings' perl tests on the Slackware-14.0, if I have the time.

I earlier had installed on various OSes namazu, a programmer from Japan,
the author of Kirara (for Plan9) - it would take some work to get it to run in
plan9port - recommend as namazu appears no longer to be maintained, and
if your main OS is Linux or MS, to use Xapian. It was my first installation of
Xapian.

I'm traveling and have a little Samsung NC-10 Netbook (2009 circa)
its 32bit.

your quote:
Have you run the tests on slackware for older Xapian versions in the past?

As above, my first Xapian install.

Sincerely,
Eric Lindblad

 I can't reproduce this on Debian unstable -
 all the tests pass for me.

 These tests also pass for
 me.
 
 Incidentally, running
 tests as root is probably not a good idea, but
 doing so doesn't cause them to fail for
 me.
 
 I was using the debian
 package of xapian-core (1.2.21-1), Perl 5.20.2
 and the arch is x86-64.
 
 Looks like you were using Perl 5.16.1 -
 what's the architecture?
 
 Have you run the tests on slackware for older
 Xapian versions in the
 past?
 
 Cheers,
    
 Olly
