Hi, I am the creator and main developer of OpenSearchServer, an open source search engine hosted at SourceForge.
Because a large part of our community is using the Debian distribution, I think it would be great to have it embedded in the Debian distribution. OpenSearchServer is hosted at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensearchserve/ The application works with TOMCAT6 and any JAVA 5 or JAVA 6 virtual machine. I did my best to fit well with the Tomcat6 package. I think a good sponsor will be someone who is comfortable with JAVA/TOMCAT environment. Here are the information needed, copy of the current control file: --------------- Source: opensearchserver Maintainer: Emmanuel Keller <[email protected]> Priority: optional Build-Depends: java5-runtime-headless | java6-runtime-headless, ant, debhelper (>= 7.0.50~) Standards-Version: 3.9.1 Homepage: http://www.open-search-server.com Package: opensearchserver Architecture: any Depends: java5-runtime-headless | java6-runtime-headless, tomcat6 Recommends: tomcat-native Description: An open source search engine and crawler based on best open source technologies An open source search engine and crawler based on best open source technologies.
