sorry Andi, I do not see any build.xml files in 2.4.1-2 distributions, and only one in 2.4.1-1 distributions. re downloaded 2.4.1-1 & 2.4.1-2 again from different mirrors and inspected.
no build.xml files at all in 2.4.1-2 $ ls -l pylucene-2.4.1-2-src.tar.gz -rwx------+ 1 madared Administrators 3447811 Jun 12 14:44 pylucene-2.4.1-2-src.tar.gz $ tar -tvzf pylucene-2.4.1-2-src.tar.gz | grep build.xml #finds nothing $ tar -tvzf pylucene-2.4.1-2-src.tar.gz | wc -l 470 while 2.4.1-1 has one build.xml $ ls -l pylucene-2.4.1-1-src.tar.gz -rwx------+ 1 madared Administrators 3444000 Jun 12 14:50 pylucene-2.4.1-1-src.tar.gz $ tar -tvzf pylucene-2.4.1-1-src.tar.gz | grep build.xml #finds one build.xml -rw-r--r-- vajda/admin 729 2009-01-08 22:28 pylucene-2.4.1-1/build.xml $ tar -tvzf pylucene-2.4.1-1-src.tar.gz | wc -l 470 Name of download in the previous reply was lucene-2.4.1-src.tar.gz but the download I get is pylucene-2.4.1-1-src.tar.gz (note the additional 1- in the name) is that the problem ? If so where do I get it. never could use SVN though firewall (never worked for me) - oh well! To avoid this, I manually download what ever is needed. $ make svn export -r HEAD http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/tags/lucene_2_4_1 lucene-java-2.4.1 svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/tags/lucene_2_4_1': could not connect to server (http://svn.apache.org) make: *** [lucene-java-2.4.1] Error 1 $ type svn svn is hashed (/usr/bin/svn) $ svn --version svn, version 1.6.2 (r37639) compiled Jun 4 2009, 08:38:57 Is the issue with posted downloads at mirror sites or am I missing something ? thanks in advance Edwin The information contained in this message and any attachment may be proprietary, confidential, and privileged or subject to the work product doctrine and thus protected from disclosure.
