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)
