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
