-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guus,
Your other comments are out of date (see the BTS for full bug report e-mail conversation), however many thanks for your reply. This feedback is important though: > Finally, it seems Solr is already packaged by the Debian Java > Maintainers, see http://packages.debian.org/solr-tomcat5.5. If there is > anything in your package that is not in theirs, please coordinate with > them. I'll start out by saying that I'm quite happy NOT to package this separately if that's the general consensus. In fact, I hoped this particular discussion would ensue as I certainly don't want to be spending my time maintaining a package that nobody wants! However in reply to the above suggestion, I would point out that apollo takes a different approach to theirs, as it creates a single instance of the jetty-based example from the Solr tarball, then constructs a framework around that which provides two important features lacking in the above: master/slave replication, out-of-the-box from debconf multiple Solr instances running on the same machine Apollo also installs nicely on the current stable (etch) which was one of the drivers for creating something myself, and not using the above, which at the time of testing did not. Apollo has been running on etch in our client production systems for a year now. Given that lenny is not yet released, and even when it is there will be a *lot* of etch servers running out there for a long while, I think this is still a very useful attribute. I obviously looked at the above Debian Maintainers packages solr-common, solr-jetty and solr-tomcat initially, when starting out to build the above-mentioned applications for our clients, however the fact that they didn't install on our stable (etch) production servers was a blocker. Hence apollo came into being. I should also add that apollo is currently built as a native Debian package, where the Solr tarball is downloaded in the build process, and then bits of it used to construct the apollo binary package. I look forward to your comments on the above, and also on this packaging approach. If you (or anyone) wants a preview of the package, then let me know. As I began by saying, it could be that this package isn't deemed to be useful or suitable for Debian. That's fine with me, my motivation was to make available something that I had already built and am currently using in production systems, to other potential users of Solr. Cheers, Paul. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIij8DtfkpAgkMOyMRAtZ8AJ94OwcLBVbaqpm0X4ZJXFosxfK5yACfQghi ZQl/OaTf4xARojKGIDpQU0Y= =ajyE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
