[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8924?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Matt Foley reopened HADOOP-8924: -------------------------------- After discussion in common-dev@, the community consensus rejected use of Python. (see references in HADOOP-9082) Also, it was encouraged to take functionality out of scripts and move it into core code. I suggest that we convert saveVersion.sh to Java, and change the ant script to a recursive call that compiles the java class and then invokes it. Same thing should work in trunk, but be aware there are two instances of saveVersion.sh in trunk: hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/dev-support/saveVersion.sh and hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-common/scripts/saveVersion.sh. They are slightly different, but I suspect that can and should be subsumed. > Hadoop Common creating package-info.java must not depend on sh > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8924 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8924 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Affects Versions: trunk-win > Reporter: Chris Nauroth > Assignee: Chris Nauroth > Fix For: trunk-win > > Attachments: HADOOP-8924-branch-trunk-win.patch > > > Currently, the build process relies on saveVersion.sh to generate > package-info.java with a version annotation.
