Andy, I compiled PyLucene 1.9rc1-7 for the i386, amd64, and powerpc Debian architectures. I created an APT repository because I figured it would be easier to manage. So if you add the follow instructions to your website they should make sense to any Debian user:
There are binary PyLucene 1.9rc1-7 Debian Stable (Sarge) packages for the i386, amd64, and powerpc architectures. To install PyLucene add the following apt repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://www.canonical.org/debian/ sarge main then run the following commands: apt-get update apt-get install python2.4-pylucene PyLucene only works with Python 2.4 so to make use of it ensure you are using /usr/bin/python2.4 and not /usr/bin/python. Any questions / concerns, just tell me and I'll change whatever you need. Oh, one last thing, in addition to adding a README.Debian file I added the samples and test cases to the documentation set. The /usr/share/doc/python2.4-pylucene/README.Debian file gives instructions on how to run them. -matthew Andi Vajda [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > > On Sun, 5 Feb 2006, Jeff Breidenbach wrote: > > >Andi, how about distributing the binary package (.deb) from the > >PyLucene website while things are shaking out?
