Responding to the thread as a whole, having read it with great interest.

I'd be interested to know what packagers for distributions such as debian and fedora do with systems that patch 3rd party dependencies.

I'll guess that if it is internalized as mentioned below that there is no problem.

But I have no idea what would be the case if one were to say that such-and-so part of Lucene did not work with a 3rd party external dependency (say icu) unless it were patched in a particular way.

BTW, fedora 16 has lucene 2.9.4 and does not have solr. Looks like F17 will have the same. I'd also be interested to know why they don't have 3.x or solr.

well FWIW: we got past it for 3.6.0 by importing their source code and
renaming the packages to o.a.s.internal.xxxxx

Thats basically my question about this bugfix scenario, is this our
only real option for maven (suck in all the source code and repackage
it)?

I would like to have other options!
