[Bsd-sharp-list] beagle on FreeBSD: contents indexing ; frontend bug

[Must Karu]

Hi, 

This concerns FreeBSD: I installed beagle (beagle
version: 0.2.16, mono-1.2.3.1_1) on my FreeBSD 6.2 but
noticed that it does not index file contents. It
gives: 

[must at localhost ~]$ beagle-extract-content file.txt
Filename: file:///file.txt
Debug: Loaded 51 filters from
/usr/local/lib/beagle/Filters/Filters.dll
Unable to filter file:///file.txt: posix_fadvise

So it seemed FreeBSD is unable to extract file
contents because of posix_fadvise -- and this turns
out to be not implemented on FreeBSD. 

Now, Im not a programmer, but I found this patch for
opensolaris

http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/patch_for_beagle

which replaces a call to posix_fadvise in GiveAdvice()
by a dummy return 0. (It's a hack for now to be fixed
later -- until posix_fadvise is implemented on
FreeBSD. . .)  I patched FreeBSD beagle the same way
(diff is attached), and it does index contents now! So
it's kind of more usable. 

BUT: there appears a different bug now, affecting
beagle-search frontend. The search tool crashes
systematically when one highlights the search result
(after search has been made). Beagle crash result
below. 

hope this might help,
