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