Package: sphinxsearch Version: 0.9.9-5 Severity: wishlist
I'd like to support the inclusion of sphinxapi.php in the package. It is needed for the SphinxSearch MediaWiki extension. The extension cannot bundle the API, since it does not know which version of SphinxSearch you have. Debian (and thus Ubuntu) could package it, and it's not a large file. It's of course possible to get the file from upstream, but how does the user find it, or know which revision to use? The file is frequently revised. Failure to find the right API for your installation will lead to the dreaded version mismatch error in SphinxSearch within MediaWiki. It's a confusing error if you don't know that sphinxapi.php is the culprit. Sphinx is a great search engine; thanks for packaging! -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sphinxsearch depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-1 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient16 5.1.45-1 MySQL database client library ii libpq5 8.4.3-1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime sphinxsearch recommends no packages. sphinxsearch suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx-min.conf.dist [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx-min.conf.dist' /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf.dist [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf.dist' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
