I've created you an account on lucene.zones.apache.org, and will send
you the password separately. This is a Solaris box.
You can clone the nightly build stuff for lucene, nutch or hadoop.
These are pretty simple, and, e.g., at:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/nutch/nightly/
They check things out from svn afresh, run 'ant nightly', then use scp
to copy things to cvs.apache.org (the official place for nightly
downloads). If ant fails then its log is mailed to the dev list. A
crontab entry is used to run this each night. You need to run
ssh-keygen on lucene.zones.apache.org, generating a passwordless key,
then append the .ssh/id.pub key file to your .ssh/authorized_keys on
people.apache.org, so that the scp will work.
The JDK 1.5 installed there seems incomplete. I have one in
~cutting/local that you might use, since Solr requires this, or, I can
give you sudo privledges and you can try to fix the installation.

My main motivation is to have a .zip that I can point to from the
website that someone can download and immediately run without any
other prereqs (i don't care as much if that's part of the normal
distribution and they have to cd to ./example first). I also want
this in place relatively soon, so we can notify the lucene community
(also hopefully soon, like in another week).
My main motivation for using a separate solr-example.zip is that I
knew an immediate way to do it (check it into the docs dir, and I'm
done...). If we want to point new users to a standard download, I
guess that would be the nightly build? how fast can that be set up?

I wasn't suggesting that we *don't* have a monolithic download, just that
it be possible to get the individual "chunks" seperatly -- but you've
convinced me that from a "distribution marketing" standpoint, the example
dist with binaries, and source, and jetty, and sample configs, and
javadocs, and prebuilt index makes sense as the "primary" distribution.

But isn't the standard to have the primary download include
documentation and examples? The reason is that you don't optimize the

Typically binary and source are separate downloads. I think the demo
can be a separate download too for someone who just want to take a
quick spin.

I personally find monolithic downloads containing everything and the
kitchen sink anoying -- especially as the kitchen sink grows over time:
All you want is the newest release of the library, but instead you're
forced to download the library, the src, the javadocs, the dependencies
(which you already have) and a sample app.
It makes sense to have a monolithic download for the person who's new and
wants to try it out without needing any prereqs (our example dist in this
case) But the contents of that monolithic download should be a super set
of the union of a "binary distribution" and a "source distribution" that
are also available.

So you think the example should be a separate download, not part of the
standard download? I find multiple downloads confusing and think it
would be better to focus on a single download that includes a demo. Do
you disagree?
