Thanks, I didn't realize that it was open source. BTW, your build instructions in the README for OS X didn't work for me. I had to install repo manually, then do: ruby fetch-manifest.rb branch-1.8.xml

That's really annoying. People have a tendency to find a minor feature missing from a tool and rewrite it from scratch in a new language instead of contributing a feature back.

Personally, I've never used fetch-manifest.rb (even on my mac). Can you tell me what you did and how it didn't work?

I did: git clone https://github.com/membase/manifest couchbase

cd couchbase; ruby fetch-manifest.rb branch-1.8.xml; brew install libevent; make

BTW, part 2: everything seems to work great, so thanks for the link.
