Rubylucene - new & improved

ruby-talk
1

I had the pleasure of working with Rich Kilmer for a bit last weekend
and he helped me clean up my newbie Ruby directory structure and get
things tidy. I’ve checked in my stuff at RubyForge under rubylucene
(was previously rucene, which is now deprecated and will be removed
soon):

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubylucene/

While I don’t anticipate spending much time on this in the next few
months, I do want to work on it and see a full-fledged Ruby version of
Lucene. I’d love to have others join in the fun!

Erik, looks interesting through ViewCVS. Unfortunately, anonymous CVS
isn’t working:

C:\chad\dev> cvs -z3

I saw this with Ruwiki earlier this week. A bug in RubyForge’s project
setup process?

Fortunately since Tom switched to ViewCVS, it’s possible to download a
tarball of current CVS.

Looking forward to seeing what comes of RubyLucene,
Chad

Wondering (as I was) what ‘rubylucene’ and 'Lucene" are?

From the Lucene RubyForge summary page:

“This project aims to implement a Ruby version of the popular Lucene
search engine”

You can read about a Lucene at

"Jakarta Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine
written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly any
application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform. "

Fixed now, please give it another try.

Yup, the CVSROOT/config file didn’t get copied over. Odd.

Yup, ViewCVS seems to be a big improvement on CVSWeb, thanks to Gavin (and
others) for pointing me to it…

Yours,

Tom
