Ubuntu 9.10′s Solr package is over 2 years old.

Posted on November 19, 2009 by slacy

Despite what I had said previously, I’m now not recommending installing solr & tomcat from ubuntu packages.

The version of solr that is provided by Ubuntu 9.10 is solr 1.2, which is over 2 years old.  Installing directly from the solr .jar is likely better.

Tomcat was kind of pain in the ass anyway. :)

    Thankfully Lucid will be getting Solr 1.4. More info on launchpad – https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/solr/+bug/321889
