Peter Linnell commented on BIGTOP-1422:
---------------------------------------
[~cos] Interesting.
1. Please use xz instead of zip. Much better compression and recent rpm
versions use it natively. I do not know if it would be a default available on
.deb however.Newer versions of tar will support .xz as well. Just for example,
when I ship and sign Scribus release tarballs, I only use xz or 7z (on
Windows). It beats .gz by 50% or more.
5.2 Let's not mess with initscripts at all, there be dragons there. Lots of
fixes Bruno, Romand and I did at Cloudera... I would feel better if we were
going to target using systemd.

> Introduce Universal Packaging System for Hadoop distribution
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BIGTOP-1422
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1422
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: build, deployment
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> Looks like the time comes where Bigtop needs to step up and champion new
> revolutionary format for packaging of the Hadoop.
> New UPS provides completely relocatable archive-like media of distribution
> for the content and the services alike. Preparation of an UPS deliverables
> shouldn't require any special development tools nor particular SDL: only
> cross-platform archives and widely available command-line interpreters would
> be a per-requisite for the creation and installation.
> In our opinion, the separation of the services and content of the
> applications, e.g. .deb and .rpm, are an outdated paradigm, which complicates
> the deployment processes, upgrades, and overall system orchestration.
> Architectural proposal will follow shortly.
