Hi freebsd ports, I updated my ruby program called "portlocate" to use Ferret rather than Xapian like before: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/freebsd/portlocate.rb The program works the same as before, but doesn't need Xapian which was reoccuringly broken (and GPL). The main part of Ferret is in C but there is a pure Ruby version too, if needed (it's a port of Lucene): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/textproc/rubygem-ferret/ I was originally hoping for it to get included in pkgtools, but since those aren't maintained anymore it should probably be made into a Ruby module too ? So that it can be included from PackageKit, that is. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ruby/2009-September/000107.html One nice thing about Ferret, besides the MIT license, is that the database is smaller. It's a little slower. --anders
