But this is only a temporarily solution, right? I just want to understand why it is okay in this case. The repo is under control of Restlet Inc. So it is a private repo of a company. We had the same situation in the past (during incubation) with other dependencies and had to remove all third party repos. The fact that Solr did a release with these deps does not imply that it is okay in principle. I am +0 here. It may be reasonable to allow it temporarily but only if there are clear signs that the situation will change in the near future. Otherwise such deps should IMO be avoided.
