Pinot on Gentoo

Josh Saddler blogged about his experience with running Pinot on Gentoo here.
Gentoo users may want to use his up-to-date ebuilds for Pinot and libtextcat.

Pinot 0.96

This version has two major improvements : it's able to index mail messages with content held in a file outside the mbox, and to get the system's battery status via DeviceKit-power or upower.
Several bugs were fixed (including Debian bug #556062). I would encourage anyone using an 0.9x release to upgrade to this.

Note that if you have Xapian 1.2.0 or newer installed, Pinot will use its new smaller, faster Chert back-end.

Special thanks go to Jens Wilhelm Wulf for his feedback and patience ;-)

Not dead

I haven't done any serious work on Pinot for months, not because I don't want to, but because I really haven't found the time to.
I am targeting a new release at end of June.
