Hi all,
Thanks to Owen I can now commit on Savannah but before doing anything I
just want to clarify some matters and get opinions.
1- I would like to setup zebra server using user-password for updates
and no write access for anonymous write access. Also we should be using
-f yazconfig.xml with the server which will allow us define  the
location and name of our cql file outside Context.pm and not hardcoded.

2-At previous listings we discussed whether to use collection.abs or
record.abs for indexing Zebra. My understanding from that was Zebra can
not handle collection.abs properly so we should use record.abs (Adam &
Sebastian's remarks). This means using record->as_xml_record of the new
CVS version MARC::File::XML  which I downloaded but it does not work for
me. MARC::File::XML does not get loaded properly and throws everything
out. Looks like an XML::SAX problem but I am not sure. For those who
managed to get it work please note that  record->as_xml_record call will
not produce proper xml as there is a quote missing at line 337 of XML.pm
change slim> to slim"> and it should work for you.
Currently I modified my old version MARC::File::XML so that it has a
record->as_xml_record as well so that I can test and commit things.

Since no 2 means rebuilding your zebradb I'll wait for comments.

Cheers,
Tumer
