<p>Hi Tomas, I don't think that's correct - there was never an
official decision on deprecating Zebra.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I just noticed that Indexdata doesn’t
provide Zebra packages past Debian Stretch: <a href="http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/debian/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/debian/</a>.
The latest Ubuntu package is for 18.04 (Bionic): <a href="http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/ubuntu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/ubuntu/</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In fact, Zebra hasn’t been updated
since August 2018 according to the changelog: <a href="https://software.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://software.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS</a>.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Debian, it looks like Debian 11
Bullseye will have the latest Zebra (2.1.4), so there is
that at least. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I guess people using Debian 10 Buster
will either need to use the buggy Zebra (2.0.59) in
Debian or maybe use the Stretch packages from Indexdata.
But then from Bullseye onwards there will be the latest
Zebra until Debian drops the package I guess.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the more reason to move more to
Elasticsearch?</p>
