  Description     : A straightforward and simple way to configure FTS plugin for Dovecot, leveraging the efforts by the Xapian.org team.

This project intends to provide a straightforward and simple way to configure
FTS plugin for Dovecot, leveraging the efforts by the Xapian.org team.

This effort came after Dovecot team decided to deprecate "fts_squat" included
in the dovecot core, and due to the complexity of the Solr plugin capabilitles,
un-needed for most users.

Why is this package useful?
It provides an easy and sane way to setup full-text search capabilities for the
Dovecot email server packaged in Debian.

Note that the 1.0 release of the package is still pending, but a release
candidate is available.
