I have been mostly maintaining solr for the past years in Debian. The current version is indeed 3.6.2 with a number of patches to address security vulnerabilities. It was still useful for a couple of people but we don't intend to ship this version again in Debian 11. I had a look at the source code of the most recent versions a few months ago and started to make a plan what I need to do in order to upgrade solr but I haven't started the actual packaging work yet. As you can imagine a lot of things have changed between version 3.6.2 and 8.6.2. In short: 3.6.2 will not be released again, 8.x could make it into Debian 11 but there is a big question mark at the moment, more help is appreciated. Regards, Markus
