[CALL FOR HELP]: swish-e

Hi All,
Apache Infrastructure finally with some coaxing gave us access to the _real_ www.apache.org servers which host all the project sites as well. So perl.apache.org is now served from them. That means we get the .us and .eu mirrors, and are not affected by maintenance. The only issue here is that site uses swish-e on FreeBSD 7.1-stable amd64 to build 'indexes' via the crons. The crons are not run on the 'real' hosts and never will be. The results of the svn checkout + crons are rsynced across to 'real' servers. Unfortunately, the generated swish-e artifacts are not architecture independent and are not usable on SunOS. For the time being, http://perl.apache.org/search/swish.cgi is ProxyPass'd to the FreeBSD machine so as to not break the site. It would be truly good to find a way to do this so we don't need this stop-gap whether with swish-e or without. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1024D/DB9B8C1C B90B FBC3 A3A1 C71A 8E70 3F8C 75B8 8FFB DB9B 8C1C Philip M.

Hum, so the site is rsynced from the FreeBSD machine to the SunOS machine? And since the indexes are built on the FreeBSD machine they can't be used on the SunOS machine? Is the swish-e binary built on the SunOS machine? No way to get the indexes built on the target machine? Is they solution to find a similar machine where the indexes can be built? It's been a while, but I think it's true that the indexes are not portable between 64 and 32 bit machines. What about moving to Google for the search feature? -- Bill Moseley moseley@...

Yes, each has their own binary and its the same version. > Is they solution to find a > similar machine where the indexes can be built? Nope, thats not an option. > It's been a while, but I think it's true that the indexes are not > portable between 64 and 32 bit machines. Both are 64bit. amd64 vs sparc64 > What about moving to Google for the search feature? This is what infrastructure would actually prefer. Take a gander at the way it works on httpd.apache.org. My only concern here is that you loose all th wonderful formating and styling...... But Feh, theres a chance google might do it better?

You can have a quick look at what it would find / how it would look here: http://www.google.com/sitesearch/ It doesn't sound like the problems with swish-e are really fixable given the infrastructure restraints, so it seems like looking elsewhere might be the way to go.

The "portability" of the swish indexes is just that items are written in network order. But, swish still uses the native sizes on the platform in use. >> What about moving to Google for the search feature? > This is what infrastructure would actually prefer.

I think Google would be the easiest approach. -- Bill Moseley moseley@...

I think Google would > be the easiest approach. I guess I could not build search indexes on my laptop for searching my downloaded manual when I'm not on-line.... Maybe I'm the only one who does that. :-) Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-dev-unsubscribe@...
