SOLR 7.2.1 on SLES 11?
Hello, we're trying to get SOLR 7.2.1 running on SLES 11 but we hit issues with BASH 3 and the ${distro_string,,} at the beginning of the install_solr_service.sh. We're just trying to get this upgraded without tossing out the old DB serves so we can get the content team happy and move on to redesigning the environment. We're wondering if anyone else has hit this, and if they have any lessons learned.
As we see it, there's a few options:
1. Install OpenSUSE BASH 4, maybe in /opt
2. Update the lowercase method to something from BASH 3 ( pipe to tr?)
3. Do this by hand without the install_solr_service.sh
4. Build new Redhat servers, migrate the DB and nuke these things.
Does anyone have any experience/suggestions here? Are there any gotchas for SOLR 7.2.1 in SLES 11?

If it were me in that situation, I would download the source code of the
latest stable version (4.4.18 as I write this) from gnu directly:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/
Then I would compile it and install it into /usr/local, which is where
it should install by default. You will naturally need development stuff
including a C compiler. I do not know whether there are any development
dependencies that bash requires.
If SLES includes /usr/local/bin in the path by default, that might be
all you need. But you might need to adjust the first line of each Solr
script to explicitly point at the new shell location.
Thanks,
Shawn

Welp, that didn't go spectacularly. All the OpenSuSE SLES 11 downloads are RPM, both source and compiled. Non-relocatable. I did attempt to rebuild, but it choked on the following dependencies:
audit-devel is needed by bash-4.3-286.1.x86_64
fdupes is needed by bash-4.3-286.1.x86_64
patchutils is needed by bash-4.3-286.1.x86_64
If I can find a repository for them I can throw that into Zypper, but thus far I've failed. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Thanks for the head's up on that bug, it looks like we'll be doing some script editing either way. I think 1 is the most popular with the team at this point, but I'll take the temperature and see how people feel.

Both bash 4 and SLES 11 are more than nine years old. Upgrades are
definitely recommended.
The option that might be fastest is the second one you've presented --
changing anything in the scripts that requires bash 4 so it's compatible
with bash 3. If you're comfortable with modifying a shell script in
this way, this is a good option.
The first option is probably a little bit safer -- install bash 4, and
make sure that this is the version used when installing and when
starting Solr. That could be a PATH adjustment, or changing the shebang
in each script.
There is another issue you're going to need to deal with on SLES. A fix
for this issue has not been committed to the source repository:
