Hello,

please package sphinxsearch 3.1.x. 2.2.1 is quite outdated.

the new upstream version you refer to is no longer released under GPL, also
only binaries are made available. please see comment of the project author

manticoresearch is a fork based on the sphinxsearch 2.x branch released
under GPL 2.0. manticoresearch has been developed steadily since mid of
2017.

take a look at https://manticoresearch.com/ and
https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch

it would be great seeing manticoresearch replace sphinxsearch in the next
Debian releases.

Hi,

In fact, the sphinxsearch package in experimental is *already*
manticore, just an old version.

That said, help would be welcome to bring it up-to-date, provide better
migration, and help get it into unstable :)

Thanks for reminding. I’ve merged all these bugs; hopefully one day I
(or someone else) finds time to work on this.
