As someone who is completely ignorant (and admittedly, somewhat
willfully so) of the java enterprise world, I was hoping that someone
more savvy in the ways of maven would step in here. It is even
unclear to me what having the project in a Maven repository means for
people, or why it would be convenient.
Based on the link you sent, it seems that a few things are necessary
for this to proceed, like a maven "project descriptor" for Solr (or is
that already done?).
That said, I'm +1 on steps to better propagate Solr, even if I don't
think that I am the best person to effectuate those steps.

Hi,
Would any of the solr devs care to comment? It would be extremely
useful to
have maven artifacts published for those building apps based on Solr
1.2,
and it would help prepare the way for releasing Solr 1.3 maven
artifacts.

Hi,
2008/6/4 Andrew Savory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I see from http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-19 that some
tentative work has been done on mavenisation of solr, and from
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-586 that discussion of
publishing maven artifacts ... is it possible to push solr 1.2 maven
artifacts out to the repo?
More specifically, would someone with sufficient privileges
(Yonik?) be
willing to do the following (from [1]):
mkdir -p org.apache.solr/jars
grab the solr-1.2 release (or svn co tags/release-1.2.0, but then
you need
to edit build.xml to update the version string that seems to have
accidentally been updated before doing release tag, to change
<property
name="version" value="1.2.1-dev" />)
tar xzvf apache-solr-1.2.0.tar.gz
cp apache-solr-1.2.0/dist/apache-solr-1.2.0.jar org.apache.solr/jars/
cd into org.apache.solr/jars and create md5 and sha1 checksums of
apache-solr-1.2.0.jar:
openssl md5 < apache-solr-1.2.0.jar > apache-solr-1.2.0.jar.md5
openssl sha < apache-solr-1.2.0.jar > apache-solr-1.2.0.jar.sha1
sign the release:
gpg --armor --output apache-solr-1.2.0.jar.asc --detach-sig
apache-solr-1.2.0.jar
cd ../ and scp it onto people.apache.org:
scp -r org.apache.solr [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/www/
people.apache.org/repo/m1-ibiblio-rsync-repository/
check permissions:
cd /www/people.apache.org/repo/m1-ibiblio-rsync-repository/
org.apache.solr
chgrp -R apcvs *
chmod -R g+w *
I could do it but I suspect that would be overstepping the bounds
of a
non-committer :-)
This will make it easier for anyone to use solr from within maven.
I'll
file a patch to automate whatever can be automated from our ant
build so
this is easier for the 1.3 release.
If people agree that publishing maven artifacts is a good idea, I'll
happily update http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToRelease to point to
the
relevant information too.
