Best way to version config files

[SolrLover <bb...@gmail.com>]

Currently we use multiple stopwords.txt, protwords.txt , elevate.xml and
other solr related config files. We use subversion to maintain various
versions of these files manually. I was thinking of checking the forum on
the process that is being followed to preserve the version history other
than just using a version control tool. 

May be I'm dreaming but it would be great if there is a UI to edit the
files, connect to a version control repository and commit the changes there.
This way I would be able to view all version of file in SOLR admin panel and
also revert back to any version needed...

Sorry, the Contest has just finished:
http://blog.outerthoughts.com/2013/08/wrap-up-of-solr-usability-contest/

But there is always JIRA. Or this could probably be implemented as some
sort of JS-subversion  ( similar to https://github.com/creationix/js-git) +
custom Admin UI plugin.

Regards,
    Alex.

Hi,

Perhaps you could post your dreams in a form of solr usability suggestion?
:)

I hope it is accepting contributions still.

What you are saying from the point of view of Solr UI in-built
version-control features, I would approach from a different angle: actually
build a deployment environment which would pick the necessary config files
and binaries and deploy them into an (existing or new) solr instance. We
run builds on bamboo where it is possible to configure building from
certain branches / trunk and jenkins to deploy the builds. We currently do
not use jenkins to deploy solr, but I would imagine that's quite possible.
