[pylucene-dev] state of trunk

[Andi Vajda]

As announced earlier, the PyLucene 1.0 release series is now on a branch and 
the trunk is used for the upcoming 1.9 release based on Java Lucene 1.9.

A few of things to keep in mind:

   - The build is now based on a specific Lucene subversion repository version,
     currently 348307. This should make it easier to track Java Lucene 1.9
     which is still - and has been for a long time now - a moving target.

   - The build requires that you have jdk 1.4.x and ant 1.6.y (y >= 3)
     installed. I hope to relax this requirement later by providing a
     pre-built Java Lucene source tree.

   - This is work in progress, not all unit tests pass, but most do.
     (if anyone has an insight about why test_Not.py fails, please tell)

   - This is work in progress, most of the many new Lucene 1.9 APIs are not yet
     integrated. Sending in patches for new APIs is welcome !
     Sending in patches for ports to python of new or yet unported Lucene unit
     tests is also welcome !

   - If you choose to build from the trunk and find a bug, please let this list
     know. Sending in a patch is even better !

   - If the trunk is too buggy for your needs as it may well be for a while,
     please use the 1.0 branch at:
     http://svn.osafoundation.org/pylucene/branches/release-1.0

   - for those who care, Berkeley DB 4.2.52 support was removed. Berkeley DB
     4.3.29 is the supported version now.
