Hi Thomas, Thanks for your offer of help. Your help would be most welcome!
Solr is maintained within the pkg-java team, which uses subversion for maintaining the packaging. You can find the most recent version at svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/solr/ (websvn at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/solr/) The main thing holding back Solr 1.3 is that it depends on Jetty6, which isn't in Debian yet. When using the Debian package from upstream (which can't be in Debian because it includes a ton of libraries), Solr builds but it fails on a number of unit tests (org.apache.solr.servlet.CacheHeaderTest, org.apache.solr.servlet.NoCacheHeaderTest, org.apache.solr.client.solrj.embedded.JettyWebappTest, org.apache.solr.client.solrj.embedded.LargeVolumeJettyTest and possibly more). Jetty6 for Debian is a work in progress, depending in turn on the maven-debian-helper and a large number of dependencies. I'm working on fixing the unit tests; if you're interested I think you could help there. We can split up the failed unit tests between us and see how we go. Alternatively, you could help out Torsten Werner in his work on packaging Jetty6 (see bug# 425152). I'll be away after tomorrow until Monday, feel free to look around, try to build the latest version from svn, reproduce the unit test failures and see if you can add patches that address them. We can discuss after Monday. Thanks again for your offer of help!
