== NEW SPHINX SETUP ==
--- the dirty way ---

- installing latest sphinx from svn (2.0.2)
(because when we take the last stable version we get this error on ts:rebuild: https://gist.github.com/958819)
$ svn checkout http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ sphinxsearch-read-only
$ cd sphinxsearch-read-only
$ ./configure && make install
$ rake ts:config
$ rake ts:rebuild

- update riddle to latest version in gemfile like this:
gem 'riddle',:git => 'git://github.com/freelancing-god/riddle.git'

- make ts work with latest sphinx:

-- take latest ts from github:
$ gem 'thinking-sphinx', :require => 'thinking_sphinx', :git => 'git://github.com/freelancing-god/thinking-sphinx.git', :branch => 'rails3'

-- as long are these patches aren't there yet:
$ bundle update thinking-sphinx
$ bundle open thinking-sphinx

make ts recognize rails_root, 
--- either by using def reset(custom_app_root=nil), 
--- or by editing lib/thinking_sphinx/configuration.rb and commenting this line: 
self.app_root   = Sinatra::Application.root


$ rake ts:config
$ RACK_ENV=test RAILS_ENV=test rake ts:config
$ rake ts:rebuild

... fire test


How to fire the search from the console:
$ search -e -c ./config/development.sphinx.conf "@name 'berlin'"

You don't need the :require for Riddle, because of the latest TS patch :)

thanks :)
