An effort is being made to update the INSTALL.* files and to aid our users in running Koha almost auto-magically (read .deb install method, copy and paste instructions for src install in debian/ubuntu, etc).
A missing piece (from my point of view) is the integration of the record indexer daemon into Koha (currently the default is to reindex -z every 5', and there are links to using Koha::Contrib::Tamil tools for having a *daemon* to do it). I vote for doing an effort to have Koha::Contrib::Tamil integrated into Koha. Once it is in the source tree this will: - Avoid Koha version-specific incompatibilities (read ease of maintenance). - Provide a simple way (SysV) to run the daemon. - Make it possible for the daemon to evolve (not sure, but I read that jcamins had some patches to adapt the Koha::Contrib::Tamil to the koha-common package multi-instance schema). Even if we move to a SolR/Zebra/Whatever: if we support Zebra it will be needed. As spoken with FrédericD, this implementation of the indexer lacks some features (?) as record sanitization, or ISO record indexing instead of MARCXML, but maybe we conclude it is not needed anymore there. Or it could be reintroduced once is in the source tree. As I see it, once it is integrated in the Koha source its easier to patch and make it evolve.
