Hello, I am intending to package the latest versions of apache-solr and lucene. However, upstream the Solr and Lucene projects have been merged so they share a source package.
I am requesting comments on how best to deal with the situation. Currently, the source package lucene2 provides liblucene2-java and liblucene2-java-doc. The solr source package provides solr-common, solr-tomcat and solr-jetty. How I would imagine the resolution is: * Merge the lucene2 source tree with the solr one * Merge the latest upstream * Make the solr source package now provide solr-common, solr-tomcat, solr-jetty, liblucene-java and liblucene-java-doc * Update the Depends: of packages that depend on lucene to the new binary package names * Remove the lucene2 source package and its binary products from Ubuntu Outstanding questions: * Since the latest version of Lucene is 3.4.0, liblucene2-java no longer makes sense as a name. Should it be liblucene-java or liblucene3-java now? * Should the debian/changelogs of the two packages be merged into one? * Would the new lucene packages need to have Provides, Conflicts or Breaks sections in debian/control to deal with the transition? Thank you for your time Mat Scales
