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

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

That does sound familiar, although I wonder what sort of features were in mind…

I answered this because on some bug (which one I don't remember) I was told we shouldn't 'add features' to Zebra code. But I need to dig a bit to remember.

 

It might have been a communication issue, but we haven't been adding features to Zebra code

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?
