Now that I have ds_backup that does backup something (thanks Tomeu for the script to grow the ds), I am looking at doing it correctly.
I've published what I have at git://dev.laptop.org/users/martin/ds-backup.git , visible at http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/martin/ds-backup.git;a=summary (For some reason it's not listed in the gitweb main page. Go figure.) Now, what I would like to get a bit of help with is the following: - Add a "dump all metadata to a file" mechanism in datastore/xapianindex.py that is fast. It could be one file per document, that wouldn't bother me in the least. As long as the resulting format is a JSON dump of a reasonable datastructure, I'm a happy camper. - Sort out the story with pause()/unpause(). The functions in datastore.py are meant to "support backup", but I think they are broken. Reading through the implementation, they call stop() on the backends, which in the case of Xapian, means that the datastore is dead in the water while paused, and normal usage will fail. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
