<developer-hat-on> I believe that part of the appeal of having it all in the same tree is to be able to say ant package and have a package right there that you can install locally and test/debug. Perhaps (and I can only guess, since I'm not a dedicated hadoop hacker) the same goal can be achieved out of tree if we have enough hooks in Bigtop. </developer-hat-on> Thanks, Roman.
