[Xapian-discuss] RPM packages for RHEL4

Hi,

  - the download page links to /RPM/rhel/ instead of /RPM/rhel4/
  - the location of repos.d in DAG's yum (I guess where most people 
would get yum for RHEL) is /etc/yum.repos.d/

rhel4 works with yum but ...

could you sign the packages - it's risky to use an unsigned repository 
(only have to compromise the web server to own any system updating from it)?

up2date requires a 'headers' directory as built by yum-arch, which is 
available from fedora extras, exactly the same usage as createrepo.

Should be easy to build perl-Search-Xapian for fc6 too.

All the best,
Tim.
