Solr LTS version

[Alessandro Hoss <al...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a defined period of support for LTS
versions. If yes, how long is it?

Another question: The community page (
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/community.html) shows version 6.4.x as LTS.
Is this outdated? Shouldn't it be 6.6.x?

Thanks in advance,
Alessandro Hoss

Indeed, that should 6.6

At this point, the only additions to the 6.6 code line will be either
security vulnerabilities or bug fixes someone just _has_ to have _and_
a committer can be persuaded to go through the effort of being the
Release Manager (RM). Generally, if a problem in 6.6 is deemed
important and there's no work-around people will volunteer, but there
are no guarantees.

There is virtually no development on 6.6 at this point, WYSIWYG. But
that's the great thing about open source, if something's vitally
important to you you can build it yourself....

Best,
Erick
