In the meantime, I've created a Debian wiki page:

https://wiki.debian.org/Solr

 2. I created a multi-instance solr set up.

I've put details in the wiki of how I did this.

 3. I see that dataimporthandler-extras, clustering, extraction and
 velocity are not available due to missing dependencies. Are there any
 plans to include these at a later date? If not, where is the recommended
 path to install them locally? I have used /usr/local/lib, but not sure
 if this is the best place.

In the end I used /usr/local/share/java/. Again, details in the wiki.

Documentation and other changes for solr

2014-01-08 Thread Andrew Beverley
Hi,

Firstly, thank you for the Debian Wheezy solr packages.

1. Having spent some time grappling with the installation and set up of
solr, I'd like to add a few things to the Debian documentation.
Presumably adding to /usr/share/doc/solr-common/README.Debian is the
best thing to do, or have I missed some other existing documentation?

2. I created a multi-instance solr set up. This doesn't work
particularly well with the layout as installed in the package, as
everything needs to be moved to a layer lower within /etc/solr.
Presumably it is too late to change this default behaviour in the
package of a future version?

3. I see that dataimporthandler-extras, clustering, extraction and
velocity are not available due to missing dependencies. Are there any
plans to include these at a later date? If not, where is the recommended
path to install them locally? I have used /usr/local/lib, but not sure
if this is the best place.

Thanks,

Andy
