------------------------------------
If you browse GitHub you will see [several projects
|https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=solr+rpm&s=stars&type=Repositories] aiming
to solve what you wish:

An important principle for adding code to this project is that the PMC is able
to maintain, update and make releases for such code. So even if one of the
aforementioned projects would want to "contribute" the code to the Solr
project, we would not have any committers (to my knowledge) able or inclined to
keep that code up to date. It would likely need to be a separate sub project,
with tests, release procedures etc. But if the maintainers of such a successful
and popular project would like to become a sub project of the official Solr
project, then we could bring them in and make them committers, as we did with
the Solr Operator (Solr on kubernetes), written in Go. With my 5 minutes
browsing I have not found any well-maintained and popular rpm or deb project
for Solr, but I may not have looked closely enough?

> Hi there,
> it's surprisingly hard to install Solr in a way where I can guarantee to
> automatically get updates, especially security updates in a reliable manner,
> as well as get a documented way to start / run Solr on my distro of choice.
> What I am really looking for is an official rpm repository (and probably a
> deb repo too) that I can add to my package manager and then install a package
> that will give me all the updates I want, as well as starts the database with
> a systemd file that is known good.
> I in particular am looking for a centos 7 repository.
> I think, that this would make installation of Solr so much easier.
> What do you say?
