Hi a few comments:
1) xapian 1.0.13 has a broken regression test suite. My most recent
submission of xapian included the relevant patch as well as enabling
the regression tests
2) xapian 1.0.14 is out which incorporates the fix the maintainer of
xapian and I worked on (I haven't yet tested this version though)
3) it seemed to me that xapian might fit best under "textproc" rather
than "databases" given that that's where you can find all the other
search/indexing related ports (glimpse, swish-e, sphinx, etc)
4) My previous submission also included xapian-omega which I'd also
love to see included. (Although it might need to do some work to make
it work under chrooted httpd).

Thoughts?
