gem install solr-ruby

[Koji Sekiguchi <ko...@r.email.ne.jp>]

Hi,

I like Solr + Flare so much.

For the initial period of time, I'm satisfied with features
provided by "gem install solr-ruby". But I'm getting like to use
new features, SOLR-376 for example.

Currently, I added the following code to environment.rb to use
new features:

$:.unshift '../solr-r602443/client/ruby/solr-ruby/lib'

I'm curious:

Who / When does update solr-ruby gem repository?
How do I know what solr version solr-ruby-0.0.5 is compatible with?

Thanks in advance,

Koji

Awww, thanks!   It's still a stupid little hack, but it does have  
potential to evolve into so much more with some TLC.

I do, over on rubyforge.

When?   So far just sporadically when there were enough new pieces  
that I wanted to use more easily myself.

I would love to see Apache become a ruby gem repository itself,  
rather than having to push stuff to a different site.

Great question.  So far it has just tracked Solr trunk, at the time  
each version was released.

Ideally, the gem and the Flare plugin should ship with inside the  
Solr distribution too, such that they are internally consistent with  
that version of Solr.

Volunteers to help us get these tasks accomplished are more than  
welcome!!!   I've not quite got this itch to scratch myself since I'm  
generally on Solr trunk and use the latest greatest of this stuff  
from trunk - but I definitely agree there is much value to getting  
these things addressed somehow.
