Hi,
Recently we have proposed a patch to let Xapian support CJK and let
programs using it index and return results for those locales. The patch
is based on the work of Brandon Schaefer and Mikkel Kamstrup.
We're looking for feedback about potential regressions caused by the
change. We suggest to check against regressions with classic locales
first (ie, "C" and a couple of other UTF-8 ones). Then verify that CJK
strings are properly indexed. And then confirm with a few test queries,
as applicable to the various programs.
In our limited testing, based on Unity and Software Center, we were not
able to identify issues, ie: both the existing locales and the new CJK
ones are returning results as expected.
Since CJK testing may not be everyone's speciality, you can either ask
in the development community of a given program. Or if you have a reason
to think that it may not work or is broken, have that be confirmed by
one of our OEM specialists. Chris Gregan (CC'ed) is the point of contact
for that part.
The patch went through a number of iterations and reviews with upstream.
And now Didier has prepared test packages, available at:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa
<https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa>
The change does require rebuilding indices though, so packages depending
on libxapian should check for that on upgrade.
Targets for testing are based on the reverse dependency list of
libxapian and its binding, ie:
apt-cache rdepends libxapian22
libxapian22
Reverse Depends:
