The only point here of this fts-xapian is to get rid of solr (because it
is just a nightmare to setup) and squat (because it is considere
obsolete).
I already sent the changed in configure.ac, makefile.am, etc.. in order
to include it in the dovecot, and it compiles properly
The only remaining point is to push it in hte git (yes, everything is
already done)

Hi
Please find attached the beta release of FTS Xapian, with the objective
to replace fts_squat that is being deprecated.
Configuration is exactly the same as for fts_squat:
plugin {
plugin = fts fts_xapian (...)
fts = xapian
fts_autoindex = yes
fts_enforced = yes
fts_xapian = partial=2 full=20
This is installed on my production server (>120Gb of mailboxes), and I
will observe it during the coming days.
I will definitely appreciate that this is added in the core git of
docevot, in order to have a versionning of it, to remove squat and let
basic users able to avoid Solr alternative as much as possible.
Thanks

Hi!
I still recommend you setup a, say, github repository for your plugin. We are
not able to currently include your work in dovecot core as it is more work than
just pushing the code into the repo. Maybe it can be included in the future.
If you want, I can help you in setting up the required configuration scripts
and such to make it possible to compile it as plugin.
Then anyone can download it and install it for their dovecot, even if dovecot
itself has been installed from packages, and also makes it possible for package
maintainers to consider including it in distributions.
