[EP-tech] Antwort: Re: Xapian install on Ubuntu 12.04

Hi Seb,

can you answer the following questions:

- what do you mean by "be careful using the default eprints-xapian indexing" (shipped with eprints 3.3.12) ? Are there any known problems?
- in as far can the code on https://github.com/eprints/xapianv2 be considered as finished and be recommended for production? 
- was faceting tested on a real-world repo having 10'000s of records (and not only on 93 as with http://puffin.ecs.soton.ac.uk/) ? Is performance still good? E.g., on http://www.zora.uzh.ch/, depending on the search terms used, one may obtain 1000s of records.

Best regards,

Martin

Sure thing.. install libxapian, libsearch-xapian-perl (yup that's Search::Xapian) and voila. Then I'd install xapian-tools because some of their utility are damned useful to debup/map a xapian DB.

Then as a word of caution, I'd say be careful in using the default eprints-xapian indexing (what's shipped with eprints 3.3.x basically) cos it's very basic. Perhaps look up https://github.com/eprints/xapianv2 to do more advanced stuff such as faceting.

    Install Xapian:

     


    We were wondering if it is preferable to use the Ubuntu packages instead?

     

    We found these packages:

     

    libept-dev - High-level library for managing Debian package information

    libxapian-dev - Development files for Xapian search engine library

    libxapian22 - Search engine library

    libxapian22-dbg - Debugging symbols for the Xapian Search engine library

    xapian-doc - Core Xapian documentation

    xapian-examples - Xapian simple example programs

    libsearch-xapian-perl - Perl bindings for the Xapian search library

    xapian-omega - CGI search interface and indexers using Xapian

    xapian-tools - Basic tools for Xapian search engine library

     

    libsearch-xapian-perl looks to be the equivalent to CPAN’s Search::Xapian?

    Does anyone have any experience with installing xapian on Ubuntu this way?

     

    Thanks!

     

    Tomasz
