You can run your own gem server very easily. Perhaps a gem server
for apache projects might be a good long term goal?
The Apache distribution system is set up to do heavy-duty mirroring.
How would that factor into the gem server situation? Apache itself
doesn't serve most of the releases from its own hardware.
In my opinion putting the gem on rubyforge and being able to say:
gem install solr
has it's advantages.
Indeed, but it isn't the end of the world for them to add a --source
on there. It'll be "solrb" though, not "solr" - it seems better to
keep it a separate name so it doesn't appear that you're actually
installing Solr too.
