CouchDb 0.5.0, Linux Port and More
Thanks to the hard work of Jan Lehnardt, CouchDb now builds, installs and runs on Linux. That's a huge step for the project!
And on Windows the project can now also build a full server kit from a single command. The build setup process is still a bit harder than it should be on both platforms, just a warning. Coming soon will be the Mac OSX port, Jan already has it running on both PPC and Intel Macs but it needs a little more work yet. Correction: This version does build and run on Mac Intel using most of the same build instructions for Linux. Updated build instructions and precompiled universal binaries for the Mac are coming.
Also in this build is the new built-in CouchPeek admin utility created by William Beh.
To use it, just visit a special url on the CouchDb server:
http://couchserver:8888/$utils/peek.html
It uses the Dojo framwork and is quite slick. I have a zillion features I already want to add to it ;)

To clarify,
it is possible to compile and run CouchDb on MacOS X from the sources above. What I plan to do is providing a binary package for those who just want to peek at CouchDb without going through the trouble of compiling it. It basically works - just needs a little more love.
Nice badge! And very good work, William!
Best,
Jan
