So have I with the vala version. I did it to scratch my itch and it has been working for me ever since. However, I am not very interested in maintaining or improving this piece of code. So, if the vala version goes into the repository, I would appreciate if I would not be the maintainer. > I'd personally argue, not surprisingly, for unifying on the python > version, if unifying we must, just because the python bindings are much > more used than vala bindings (and way more people hack on python than > vala) so it stands a better chance of keeping up with the binary.

The vala version is cool because it is translatable into pure C and it has some logic for minimizing the number of lookups. (I think that is now also in the python version). Once the from/to/cc addresses are stored in xapian itself, we are much less IO bound than now, I'd think. Sebastian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
