I think that for lucene2 and current solr you should leave the packaging as-is as this reflects the way the upstream projects where managed prior to recent changes. > > Outstanding questions: * Since the latest version of Lucene is 3.4.0, > liblucene2-java no longer makes sense as a name.

I think we should maintain support for lucene2 for the time being in which case having liblucene3-java does make sense which some good conflicts (but they may not be required). FYI packaging on lucene3 has been started in Debian: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/lucene3/ However this has been stalled for some time and the ITP owner has just stood down from packaging in Debian. Whatever we do in Ubuntu we should make sure we are collaborating with the Debian Java - the Java delta between Ubuntu and Debian is minimal and we should try to keep it that way. I'd be interested on working on this as well; I want to try an get OpenGROK packaged and an update for solr would be no bad thing. Cheers James -- James Page Ubuntu Server Developer
