I try it under Itanium RH Advanced server from time to time ....
To be tested: ..... - RedHat AdvanceServer Itanium II (David Bannon)
My (week or so ago) test still fails to compile with the same error I posted
several weeks ago. I did not get any responses from developers then so have
not perused it.
It fails with a message to the effect of : Configuration.cc:20:22: htconfig.h: No such file or directory
A quick read of the cvs indicates that htconfig.h has been removed, then
reinstated etc. So I asked the developers if it should be there, in which
case I should find out why its not there, or if it should not be there, I'll
need to find our why the makefile is looking for it.
I really don't have the time to waste going down wrong path when who ever
was playing there last can point me in the right direction.

(Please note that everything added here should have a tracker PR# so
we can be sure they're fixed. Geoff is currently trying to add PR#s for
what's currently here.)
SHOWSTOPPERS: * Mifluz database errors are a severe problem (PR#428295) -- Does Neal's new zlib patch solve this for now?
KNOWN BUGS: * Odd behavior with $(MODIFIED) and scores not working with wordlist_compress set but work fine without wordlist_compress. (the date is definitely stored correctly, even with compression on so this must be some sort of weird htsearch bug) PR#618737. * META descriptions are somehow added to the database as FLAG_TITLE, not FLAG_DESCRIPTION. (PR#618738) Can anyone reproduce this? I can't! -- Lachlan Me either. Let's remove the PR. -Geoff
PENDING PATCHES (available but need work): * Additional support for Win32. (Neal) * Memory improvements to htmerge. (Backed out b/c htword API changed.) * Mifluz merge.
NEEDED FEATURES: * Quim's new htsearch/qtest query parser framework. * File/Database locking. PR#405764.
TESTING:
* httools programs:
(htload a test file, check a few characteristics, htdump and compare)
* Tests for new config file parser
* Duplicate document detection while indexing
* Major revisions to ExternalParser.cc, including fork/exec
instead of popen,
argument handling for parser/converter, allowing binary output from an
external converter.
* ExternalTransport needs testing of changes similar to ExternalParser.
DOCUMENTATION:
* List of supported platforms/compilers is ancient. (PR#405279)
* Document all of htsearch's mappings of input parameters to
config attributes
to template variables. (Relates to PR#405278.)
Should we make sure these config attributes are all documented in
defaults.cc, even if they're only set by input parameters and never
in the config file?
* Split attrs.html into categories for faster loading.
* Turn defaults.cc into an XML file for generating documentation and
defaults.cc.
* require.html is not updated to list new features and disk space
requirements of 3.2.x (e.g. regex matching, database compression.)
PRs# 405280 #405281.
* TODO.html has not been updated for current TODO list and
completions.
I've tried. Someone "official" please check and remove this -- Lachlan
* Htfuzzy could use more documentation on what each fuzzy algorithm
does. PR#405714.
* Document the list of all installed files and default
locations. PR#405715.
OTHER ISSUES: * Can htsearch actually search while an index is being created? * The code needs a security audit, esp. htsearch. PR#405765.
