Dear all,
As maintainer of the textproc/sphinxsearch port I occasionally get requests from users about enabling the SphinxSE engine in MySQL on FreeBSD. Up to now, I've been publishing some ad hoc patches to the mysqlNN-server ports through by web site: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/articles/sphinxse.html I've now created a slave port: databases/mysql51-server+sphinxse which achieves much the same effect as the patches: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/articles/mysql51-server+sphinxse.shar I'll submit this as a new port fairly soon, but I'd appreciate any constructive critique of what I'm trying to do, and if anyone interested could do some testing. I already know there are a few problems, for instance I can't change the MAINTAINER or CONFLICTS settings without some small modifications to the master port. I'd do much the same thing for mysql50-server as well, but I'm still trying to debug getting SphinxSE support working at all with that version.
