Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-15967:
------------------------------------
I had a quick look at solr-os-packager, and I must say the gradle based
approach, using the ["ospackage" gradle
plugin|https://github.com/nebula-plugins/gradle-ospackage-plugin] looks quite
promising. See [gradle
file|https://github.com/sdavids13/solr-os-packager/blob/master/build.gradle].
Now that Solr switches to a gradle build from v9 it would not be hard to
integrate. Gradle could generate `.rpm` and `.deb` packages, but the hard part
is all the testing that needs to be done on those packages and to publish them
to some repo etc.
There would of course also be a middle-ground. Solr will now in 9.0 get a
{{gradlew docker}} target to build a docker image yourself. We could add
experimental support for self-generating rpm and dep packages from the git
checkout, without publishing / releasing those packages. But it would still add
some maintenance load on the project for when the packages suddenly don't work,
when the gradle plugin is upgraded or goes unmaintained etc. So we'd still need
active users of these packages to help maintaining them.
[~sdavids] perhaps you have some information to share on this?

> 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?
