Package Request: fts-xapian

[xianwenchen]

fts-xapian is a full-text indexing plugin for dovecot.

https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian

It requires dovecot and xapian.

Could someone look into whether fts-xapian could be packaged? Thank you!

Seems to be maintained and active. @leahneukirchen might be interested?

Is this better than dovecot-plugin-lucene?

[xianwenchen]

Thanks for looking into the request!

I had dovecot-plugin-lucene on a Debian machine. The problem was that it didn't understand Chinese. I was hoping that fts-xapian would understand Chinese, which I do not know.

Apparently Xapian can do CJK languages.

Thank you. Then fts-xapian might be better for people who want to search CJK strings.
