: I spent this morning reviewing the Solr tgz artifacts (will look at hte
: lucene ones after lunch). Notes so far...
######## Lucene Artifacts...
##### General concerns
As mentioned before, there are a bunch of files only included in the src
release that seem suspicious -- they should probably also be included in
the binary release...
contrib/analyzers/common: README.txt
contrib/analyzers/common: SNOWBALL-LICENSE.txt
contrib/benchmark: conf
contrib/benchmark: scripts
contrib/lucli: run.sh
contrib/swing: docs
contrib/xml-query-parser: docs
contrib/xml-query-parser: LuceneContribQuery.dtd
contrib/xml-query-parser: LuceneCoreQuery.dtd
###### src-tgz
Things I tested that worked great...
* compiled and ran all tests using java 1.5
* ran "ant" to build the core jar
* ran "ant build-contrib" to build the contrib jars
* ran the demo to index/search lucene source code
Problems I noticed...
* the BUILD.txt file only instructs you to run "ant" to build Lucene, this
in turn runs "jar-core" which builds the core jar but none of the
contribs. (Because the demo is a contrib there is no obvious indication
from BUILD.txt how to build the demo). we should probably at least
mention "ant -p" but ironicly the "package" target (which is the closets
thing we have for building all jars w/o tgz or ziping them up) doesn't
have a description -- but at least people would see build-contrib.
* demo.html says...
"You need two JARs: the Lucene JAR, and the Lucene demo JAR. You should
see the Lucene JAR file in the directory you created when you extracted
the archive -- it should be named something like
lucene-core-{version}.jar. You should also see a file called
contrib/demo/lucene-demo-{version}.jar"
But that's not where either of those jars are found if you build from
source ... they are both in build/
* "ant javadocs" fails because "javadocs-all" can't find prettify...
BUILD FAILED
/home/hossman/tmp/lucene3.1rc/3.1.rc1/l-src-tgz/lucene-3.1.0/build.xml:206:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/hossman/tmp/lucene3.1rc/3.1.rc1/l-src-tgz/lucene-3.1.0/common-build.xml:744:
/home/hossman/tmp/lucene3.1rc/3.1.rc1/l-src-tgz/dev-tools/prettify not
found.
...this seems like a pretty fundemental problem since the lucene-src
release doesn't include dev-tools at all (it's one level higher then what
we package)
###### bin-tgz
Everything looks great. The README.txt is consistent with the contents,
the demo runs, the docs all look good and the links between them all work.
The only thing that seemed fishy is that we ship the javadocs as well as
javadoc jars. not sure if we really need both.
