I would say it's time to start thinking about alternatives/further encourage the adoption of elastic search and clean up the search code in general.I still have a, perhaps misguided, fondness for zebra. I'm not sure Koha has always used it to its strengths and it certainly has its own issues.. but it is significantly lighter weight to run and has a place as a genuine alternative to the rather heavy elasticsearch.. I'd love to see a lightweight option replace zebra as an option one day but I don't think it's a priority quit yet..might be worth some experimenting though given its dwindling support higher up the river.Just my two pennies,MartinOn Thu, 3 Sep 2020, 6:01 pm Katrin Fischer, <katrin.fischer.83@web.de> wrote:_______________________________________________Hi Tomas, I don't think that's correct - there was never an official decision on deprecating Zebra.

Latest commit is from April 8th. I belive it is in maintenance mode only.We deprecated it, though. So focus is on ES integration.

_______________________________________________Hi all,
I just noticed that Indexdata doesn’t provide Zebra packages past Debian Stretch: http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/debian/. The latest Ubuntu package is for 18.04 (Bionic): http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/ubuntu/
In fact, Zebra hasn’t been updated since August 2018 according to the changelog: https://software.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS.
In Debian, it looks like Debian 11 Bullseye will have the latest Zebra (2.1.4), so there is that at least.
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.
All the more reason to move more to Elasticsearch?
