Solr not being installed via (rpm) packages in Vagrant environment

[brainstorm]

While running vagrant up I ran into this:

==> default: Running provisioner: shell...
    default: Running: /var/folders/kl/t8327z5557570g3p4g0lwvyh0000gn/T/vagrant-shell20140701-144-1fnuy6
Setting up Solr
cp: cannot stat `/downloads/solr-4.6.0.tgz': No such file or directory
tar (child): solr-4.6.0.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/glassfish/solr/solr-4.6.0/example/solr/collection1/conf/schema.xml': No such file or directory

I wonder why is Solr not being installed via packages :-S

I'm not opposed to Solr being installed via rpm but I haven't found a yum repo for it. If a suitable yum repo is found, we can can add the config file alongside the Shibboleth and Maven yum repo config files, which are here (as of this writing): https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/tree/d339c337ba65d64abfc25e87cdb2ccd8b9e09629/conf/vagrant/etc/yum.repos.d

Not super official builds, but maybe better than tarballs:

We do use RPMs from download.opensuse.org here: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/d339c337ba65d64abfc25e87cdb2ccd8b9e09629/conf/vagrant/etc/yum.repos.d/shibboleth.repo

Solr is moving so fast, though, I'm not sure we'll find a new enough RPM. We already have a ticket to update from Solr 4.6.0: https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/issues/3871

Fair enough, thanks @pdurbin!
