I wanted to download Solr 7.4.1, but I cannot find the 7.4.1 release into http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/ : there are Solr 7.4 and after directly 7.5. Of course I can build from source code, but this is frustrating because I can see that in the 7_4_branch there is a fix that I need (SOLR-12594) with the status fixed into 7.4.1 and 7.5 versions. Everythings seems to have been prepared to release the 7.4.1, but I cannot find it. Does this release exist ?
That release does not exist. There was never any discussion about it on the dev list.
7.4.1 was added to Jira for tracking purposes, and the code change for that issue was saved to branch_7_4 just in case somebody felt a 7.4.1 release was required. That issue deals with a problem in metrics, which is outside of basic Solr functionality -- not critical enough to warrant a point release.
The release process for 7.5.0 was underway about a month after that issue was committed.
If 7.5.0 (or one of the many later releases) will not work for your needs, then you will need to compile branch_7_4 yourself. I have used custom-compiled versions before in production because we needed a bugfix that was not deemed severe enough for a new point release.
You can create binary packages similar to what is available for download by running "ant package" in the solr directory of your code checkout. I think that build target only works on *NIX systems -- Windows is missing some of the required pieces.
