Hello.
I like Sphinx very much and i'am a big fan of Debian/GNU Linux.
And i was very glad to see Sphinx on debian's list of "Work-Needing and Prospective
Packages" ( http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/prospective ).
But time has gone and there was no noticeable changes.
There is a small guide how to build Sphinx debian package from source.
First of all you need some mysql dev-libraries and checkinstall utility.
$ sudo aptitude install libmysql++-dev libmysqlclient15-dev checkinstall
Next you should download and compile sphinx:
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/sphinx-0.9.8-svn-r1112.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf sphinx-0.9.8-svn-r1112.tar.gz
$ cd sphinx-0.9.8-svn-r1112
$ ./configure
$ make
Then, instead of doing a "make install" let's build .deb-package (you must be a root):
$ sudo checkinstall
checkinstall will ask you some questions, i answered them something like this:
0 - Maintainer: [ endeveit{at}gmail.com ]
1 - Summary: [ Sphinx is a full-text search engine. ]
2 - Name: [ sphinxsearch-0.9.8-svn ]
3 - Version: [ r1112 ]
4 - Release: [ 1 ]
5 - License: [ GPL ]
6 - Group: [ web ]
7 - Architecture: [ i386 ]
8 - Source location: [ sphinx-0.9.8-svn-r1112 ]
9 - Alternate source location: [ http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads.html ]
10 - Requires: [ ]
Please be patient with step #2, debian already have a package for sphinx2 (a speech
recognition utility), therefore i renamed package to "sphinxsearch".
checkinstall automatically installs the new .deb package and put a copy of the package
into that folder you were working in.
Now you can move .deb package wherever you want and delete working folder.
You're able to remove that package in a debian way in any time:
$ sudo dpkg -r sphinxsearch-0.9.8-svn
or
$ sudo aptitude remove sphinxsearch-0.9.8-svn
Installation now is also quite simple:
$ sudo dpkg -i sphinxsearch-0.9.8-svn_r1112-1_i386.deb
PostgreSQL installation exactly the same, you only need to install "libpg-dev" instead of
"libmysql++-dev" and run ./configure with "--with-pgsql" option.
All of this had been tested for debian testing with mysql-5.0.51:
$ uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.22-3-686 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 20:20:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
$ mysql -V
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2
I hope this little guide will be useful.
Have a nice day :)

You could ping Monty Taylor of MySQL, I believe he's maintaining the current Debian port.

Why don't you post it to the Wiki? :)

In fact, i haven't so much experienced in creating and supporting packages in debian.
Maybe soon i will reach to the full implementation of the package, and then i will
contact him and offer the help, if you talking about it :)

Sorry, but I know little about Doku. Maybe anyone else here could advice!
