Michael Shuler updated CASSANDRA-12622:
---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.10)
3.x
> Snap package of Cassandra
> -------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-12622
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12622
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Evan
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> Picking up the conversation from [1], I'd like to propose that Cassandra
> publish snap packages (http://snapcraft.io).
> I've put together a patch:
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/compare/trunk...evandandrea:snap
> This could be used to build and publish a snap on every commit to trunk [2,
> 3], or as a quicker way for developers to one-off build something more
> lightweight than a container for testing.
> Alternatively, you could keep snap publication to released versions of
> Cassandra. Dependencies are bundled, so you would get to decide Oracle vs
> OpenJDK and the exact version. For the end user it would mean confidence that
> Cassandra with this bundled set of dependencies had been tested by the
> project. Uploads would instantly reach all of Ubuntu and a fair few other
> distributions without any changes [4], hopefully simplifying install
> instructions.
> I couldn't find where the machinery for driving the Cassandra release process
> lives, but if someone can point me in the right direction I'd be happy to
> submit a patch for that.

> 2: Builds of trunk would be best published to the edge channel:
> http://snapcraft.io/#snapcraft_home_using-snaps_channels
> 3: What automatic building and publishing could look like using Travis:
> https://travis-ci.org/evandandrea/cassandra-snap/builds/158449135#L3937
