I'm interested in maintain solr in Debian and since it is now orphan [0]... are you still interested too? > How I would see this proceeding: > > * "retire" the current solr source package > * Change the new lucene3 source package to build from the combined > lucene/solr upstream package rather than the lucene only one. > * Make the lucene3 package also produce the solr-common, solr-tomcat > and solr-jetty binary packages. > > Alternatives I can think of: > * Keep the current solr package and have the lucene3 package build new > solr3-* binaries instead. Doesn't seem necessary as upgrading from > solr 1.4.1 to solr 3.3.0 appears to be fine with little to no BC > breakage I need solr 1.4 at my work... so I would like to keep it and create solr3-* packages. > * Keep lucene3 building from the lucene only source and make the solr > package build from a modified solr-only +dfsg source package.
