orbiter d2ba1fd2ab major step forward to network switching (target is easy switch to intranet or other networks .. and back)
This change is inspired by the need to see a network connected to the index it creates in a indexing team.
It is not possible to divide the network and the index. Therefore all control files for the network was moved to the network within the INDEX/<network-name> subfolder.
The remaining YACYDB is superfluous and can be deleted.
The yacyDB and yacyNews data structures are now part of plasmaWordIndex. Therefore all methods, using static access to yacySeedDB had to be rewritten. A special problem had been all the port forwarding methods which had been tightly mixed with seed construction. It was not possible to move the port forwarding functions to the place, meaning and usage of plasmaWordIndex. Therefore the port forwarding had been deleted (I guess nobody used it and it can be simulated by methods outside of YaCy).
The mySeed.txt is automatically moved to the current network position. A new effect causes that every network will create a different local seed file, which is ok, since the seed identifies the peer only against the network (it is the purpose of the seed hash to give a peer a location within the DHT).
No other functional change has been made. The next steps to enable network switcing are:
- shift of crawler tables from PLASMADB into the network (crawls are also network-specific)
- possibly shift of plasmaWordIndex code into yacy package (index management is network-specific)
- servlet to switch networks

WHAT IS THIS?

This is a Peer-to-Peer - based Web Search Engine.
There is no search central, the YaCy users create a web search network.
You can also use this software to set up your own search portal.


WHERE IS THE DOCUMENTATION?

The complete documentation can be found at:
(English)  http://yacy.net/

(Wiki:en)  http://www.yacy-websearch.net/wiki/index.php/En:Start


WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS SOFTWARE?

- search the web (automatically using all other YaCy peers)
- crawl the web (and you contribute to the global web index)
- set up your own search portal
- use it as your personal web server
- use it as your web proxy (..and visited pages are indexed)
- many more


DEPENDENCIES? WHAT OTHER SOFTWARE DO I NEED?

You need java 1.4.2 or later to run YaCy.
Please download it from http://java.sun.com
NO OTHER SOFTWARE IS REQUIRED!
(you don't need apache, tomcat or mysql or whatever)
