Updated the development status...
Removed long obsolete:
- Long pause. I got desperate of implementing icu
in the C++ standard template framework.
Then hardware issues.
Next plans still unclear.
- Currently working in ~/git/tests/fstr to try to merge ICU into
the std fstream system
- Back to working on htdig on icu,
configured with utf-8
- There was a temporary version on top of the one I downloaded
- 3 git clones (bkp, htdig, htdev) with 4 branches (respectively dev,
dbg, icu, and not selected: master).
- Two more repo: bdb and icu, for the products I use, each with a
dev branch for my own changes
- One last repo: tests, in which I have been working recently
The current search engine is of course too crude: only based on
independent words, instead of on associations thereof.
It should be possible to fix this by adding a second layer of
processing, looking for longer strings directly in the pages returned
from the first search.
One would thus accept quoted strings, extract the words from them,
produce a list of pages,
and look for the strings within these pages.
Mounted by hand the LaCie mass storage.
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o umask=000,allow_other PARTUUID=1de31d10-01 /media/marc/LaCie
sudo mount -o umask=000 PARTUUID=1de31d10-02 "/media/marc/LACIE SHARE"
Received advice to update /etc/fstab in order to simplify
the commands and allow to run as user:
PARTUUID=1de31d10-01 /media/marc/LaCie ntfs-3g defaults,noauto,umask=000,allow_other,user 0 0
PARTUUID=1de31d10-02 /media/marc/LaCie\040\SHARE vfat defaults,noauto,umask=000,user 0 0
Followed with:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Progress with the search engine usability:
ignored and reported errors in the input patterns,
and written instructions.
Updated the git repo.
