-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-2436 2010-02-21 20:51:04 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : sphinx Product : Fedora 11 Version : 0.9.9 Release : 1.fc11 URL : http://sphinxsearch.com Summary : Free open-source SQL full-text search engine Description : Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. Commercial licensing (eg. for embedded use) is also available upon request. Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant full-text search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data source drivers support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or PostgreSQL, or from a pipe in a custom XML format. Adding new drivers (eg. to natively support some other DBMSes) is designed to be as easy as possible. Search API is natively ported to PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, Java, and also available as a pluggable MySQL storage engine. API is very lightweight so porting it to new language is known to take a few hours. As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index. Yes, I know about CMU's Sphinx project. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - Update to 0.9.9 (#556997). - Added sphinx-0.9.9-fix_static.patch to fix FTBS. - Run sphinx searchd as non-root user (#541464). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Feb 11 2010 Allisson Azevedo <[email protected]> 0.9.9-1 - Update to 0.9.9 (#556997). - Added sphinx-0.9.9-fix_static.patch to fix FTBS. - Run sphinx searchd as non-root user (#541464). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #556997 - Update sphinx to the latest release https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556997 [ 2 ] Bug #541464 - Run sphinx searchd as non-root user https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541464 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
