Bug 733258 – [SCI] dev-java/lucene-8.7.0: version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: CONFIRMED ---

[Description John Helmert III 2020-07-20 02:10:14 UTC]

Latest in tree is 3.6.2 which appears to have been released in about 2013 according to the dates here[1]. Latest upstream is 8.6.0, released this month (July 2020). After going through all of the changelogs since 3.6.2, there are many potential crashes and data loss problems that have been fixed since 3.6.2, but I'm unsure if much of that affects the versions we have in-tree.

    dev-java/lucene: add new lucene versions for scilab
    
    At the moment this only builds with USE="-modules"
    because we are missing a dependency. Will add the
    keywords if/when I get the dependency working
    
    Also added a fixed ebuild for version 3.6.2,
    the one in ::gentoo fails with USE="contrib"
    see linked bug

    dev-java/lucene: fix USE="modules"
    
    Disabled the modules that we are missing deps for.
    Most of them work though, added keywords

Commits under comments #c1 and #c2 are not in ::gentoo

Yes those ebuilds are in ::sci because they are very messy and experimental. Someone who is more knowledgeable with java packaging should have a look at them before we add them to ::gentoo.

::gentoo doesn't seem to have any consumer which could benefit from a newer version of lucene.  Or did I miss something?

But, a more recent versions of lucene is available in https://github.com/6-6-6/spark-overlay.
