FreeBSD Port: xapian-core-1.0.22,1 (fwd)

[Doug Penner]

Hello Henrik,
I am trying to see if it's possible to get Xapian 1.2 in the ports system, 
either by updating the existing Xapian port, or adding a new one (such as 
databases/xapian12). But apparently there are some issues blocking this 
from happening. I would like to know if you have any information about 
what those issues may be and if there is anything I can do to help resolve 
such issues. Dependent ports have been mentioned as an issue, but that was 
over 12 months ago, so I'm not sure if those issues still exist.

My reason for this is that I am trying to get notmuch (notmuchmail.org) 
added to the ports and while it builds and runs fine with Xapian 1.0, it 
is supposed to run much faster with the new 1.2 version.


Thanks

The committer who proposed a patch for the repocopy xapian -> xapian10,
which never went forward, is Henrik Brix Andersen <brix at FreeBSD.org>. He
probably knows more than me about the background issues.
