I do not know if too much emphasis should be placed on "user" vs. "contributor". The project needs to also consider those of us who use Lucene.NET source releases only. It is much easier to locally patch/fix the source when I can compare it directly to Lucene core.

As a Lucene.Net user I wouldn't care whether it is line-by-line port or not. But as a contributer, I would prefer a parallel code that makes the life easier for manual ports of new releases(until this process is automated) PS: I presume no one thinks of functional or index-level incompatibility.

This is has been discussed many times. Lucene.NET is not valid, the code cannot be trusted, if it is not a line-by-line port. It ceases to be Lucene. - Neal -----Original Message----- From: Scott Lombard [mailto:lombardena...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 1:58 PM To: lucene-net-...@lucene.apache.org; lucene-net-u...@lucene.apache.org Subject: [Lucene.Net] Is a Lucene.Net Line-by-Line Jave port needed? After the large community response about moving the code base from .Net 2.0 to Net 4.0 I am trying to figure out what is the need for a line-by-line port. Starting with Digy's excellent work on the conversion to generics a priority of the 2.9.4g release is the 2 packages would not be interchangeable. So faster turnaround from a java release won't matter to non line-by-line users they will have to wait until the updates are made to the non line-by-line code base. My question is there really a user base for the line-by-line port? Anyone have a comment? Scott
