Bug#263830: ITP: idzebra -- general-purpose structured text indexing and retrieval engine
Here is a 'new' ITP (added to #263830). Without any reply from its
submitter, I will take over this ITP (no answer from my previous mail
since Jan 07 nor to the other mail from someone else on Apr 2006).
* Package name : idzebra
Version : 2.0.22
Upstream Author : Adam Dickmeiss, Heikki Levanto and Sebastian Hammer
(Index Data enterprise)
* URL : http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/
* License : GPL (v2 or above)
Programming Lang: C
Description : general-purpose structured text indexing and retrieval engine
IDZebra is a high-performance, general-purpose structured text indexing
and retrieval engine. It reads structured records in a variety of input
formats (eg. email, XML, MARC) and allows access to them through exact
boolean search expressions and relevance-ranked free-text queries.
Notes:
* upstream (Index Data enterprise) propose debian packages. I will start
from their work. I will host development on git.alioth.org so these
packages can be team-maintained if someone (upstream or not) want to
join.
* upstream calls there packages idzebra, the software is called zebra,
the tarball is called idzebra-....tar.gz in a /zebra/ directory.
Unless strong objection, I plan to follow upstream and call the
binary packages idzebra-* and source package idzebra
* zebra packaging is needed in order to package Koha (ITP #389876)
* zebra build-depends on libyaz3-dev that is not yet accepted in main
due to licenses issues that should be resolved quickly by upstream
(license change or, if not possible, rewrite of the little problematic
part)
