Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-6255: ---------------------------------------- Here is how I propose doing this # Have a subproject that uses Ivy to pull in what is needed # Start with the spec files of HADOOP-5615 updated with any changes needed for 0.21 # Remove the requirement for sun-java, maybe add an RPM to make that dependency explicit as an option for people who need it and don't want openjdk/jrockit jvms. # Build file creates the RPMs of all the JARs etc, with configuration a separate RPM. Troublespots: # configuration. Initial cut take the conf dir and create the RPMs for it. # native binaries. I've never done native RPMs, don't know where to begin. # Upgrades and testing thereof. where it gets real fun is when you think about FS upgrades with RPM upgrades # Automated testing. Help needed, we'd like this to work under hudson too The goal here is to have a basic Apache Hadoop RPM set, something we can start off with in 0.21 beta tests to see how they work. > Create an rpm integration project > --------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6255 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6255 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > > We should be able to create RPMs for Hadoop releases. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
