Another vote for a .spec file to be included in the standard distribution as a contrib. If it's ok with Cloudera (since my spec file just came from them), I will edit my JIRA to offer that proposal. If it's Cloudera's spec that's included, we should also include the init.d script templates (which are already Apache licensed). Ian
