             Summary: revert Python build scripts from branch-trunk-win
                 Key: HADOOP-9271
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9271
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: trunk-win
            Reporter: Chris Nauroth
            Assignee: Chris Nauroth


On branch-trunk-win, some work was committed to convert custom build scripting 
to Python as a cross-platform solution to support builds on both Linux and 
Windows.  The community has since rejected this solution.  This issue tracks 
removal of the Python build code from branch-trunk-win.

This will restore branch-trunk-win to the same state as trunk, which uses shell 
for custom build scripting.  This means that developers working on 
branch-trunk-win will once again need sh.exe on the PATH to build the 
distribution.  This will be a temporary state.  A subsequent jira will add 
build scripts specific to Windows, using a language more common in a Windows 
development environment.  The community has approved minimal use of multiple 
platform-specific scripting languages.
