i've seen a fix on rebuil_zebra_idx.pl
In fact, last week I was about to remove it, as it's replaced by rebuild_zebra.pl that does much more things : 1- create zebra files *if needed* (ie : they don't exist already) 2- export datas biblio & authority (or only one) 3- run zebraidx 4- keep the export for a future use.
where rebuild_zebra_idx does only the export for biblios.
After looking at the two, I would agree that rebuild_zebra_idx is redundant, but only after rebuild_zebra is tweaked so that it has an option to *only* export the bibs or authorities. I guess from my POV, I don't know what the purpose of rebuild_zebra.idx is. It seems like a helper script for a non-standard installation, not the kind of utility you'd normally run. The Makefile installer should be all we need to install the zebra components of Koha.
I'm in favor of a light-weight script that does export/index of records like we have in dev_week with update_items.pl. It's always useful to be able to just re-index the whole dataset. That's what I thought rebuild_zerba_idx.pl was the start of.
