No need anymore to remove chef from squeeze, given that after its maintainer hint I uploaded the 0.8.16-4.2 NMU which removes any -server* and -solr package. This is the reason why I closed this bug with the NMU version. >>> It's also in lenny (albeit in contrib) so if it were removed then a >>> migration path for those users to a replacement would be good. > > Given that chef-solr was not in lenny, the above applies to solr only. > However, I should say that I do not know at all a good migration path. This still stands, but I am no solr expert, sorry. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
