[Koha-devel] Is Indexdata's Zebra a dead project?

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

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?
