I disagree that Lucene/Solr would not be popular if the committers and PMC did not support Maven. In fact, I expect if there is real demand, a downstream contributor would easily pick this up. I don't think anyone doubts Maven's value in terms of distribution. I also find amazing value in the apt-get system. I think if you want to be a popular open source project, you really want your stuff in a linux packaging world! But I don't think we should make that part of the project. I think it belongs downstream where it happily happens now :) Unless we get a wave of anti maven sentiment, it looks like things are staying as they are right now anyway though. I just don't think any of us arguing that Maven should not be our responsibility thinks that that would mean Maven support for Lucene/Solr would go away. - Mark Miller lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
