But I'm seriously considering to take the plunge, unless someone beats me to it More at the end of July I've picked up the maintenance of solr; I've closed out most bug reports on solr 1.4 and have just had a new lucene-solr package for 3.6.0 uploaded to the NEW queue (thanks Tony).

Re: Status of Solr and Lucene in Debian
to...@tuxteam.de: Hi, I've got a question (which has possibly been beaten to death: sorry if it is so) Is there any effort underway to get a recent-ish Solr (say = 3.4) packaged for Debian? Lucene3 is underway: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/lucene3.git But Solr is orphaned for a while now with nobody interested to maintain it. It would be great, if somebody who actually uses it, would start maintaining it in Debian.

It would be great, if somebody who actually uses it, would start maintaining it in Debian. Ugh. I've seen your hint ;-) It'd be a tall order for me (I'm as far from being a Java guy myself as one could think). OTOH this might be a chance to convince my boss to donate a couple of work hours towards this task. Echhh. Might I count on your (a collective you here) help? Where can I read up on the specific difficulties of packaging Java under Debian? Maybe. Just maybe...

I don't know what your company is doing but you should think twice before asking your boss for a favour and then feeling bad about misusing company time. I've been there... But on the other hand it might be an asset for your company to have somebody that knows about Debian packaging and about Java.
