That is not a description, that's just the full name. What does this package do? I cannot find any answer in the long description either. The project website mentions that it is an "enterprise search server". Still vague, but I guess it is something equivalent to htdig. Both the short and long description should make clear that this is a web-based search engine/server/whatever. > The Apollo Solr Server is a debian packaging of the standard Solr Server > available from the Apache project (http://lucene.apache.org/solr/). This There is no need to mention that this is a Debian package.

The rest of the description reads like a manual page, not like a description of the features of Solr. Then, where does the name "Apollo" come from? I do not see any reference to that name on the Solr website. Finally, it seems Solr is already packaged by the Debian Java Maintainers, see http://packages.debian.org/solr-tomcat5.5. If there is anything in your package that is not in theirs, please coordinate with them. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
