jay vyas commented on BIGTOP-1422:
----------------------------------
:) makes sense to me. build works as is. other vendors are using yum . lets
stick with yum, and avoid creating a magic tarball. for better distributed
logic and version handling, upgrading, and magic, etc..., just stick to the
industry standard tools like puppet, docker, etc.
> 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 applications, e.g. .deb and .rpm, are an outdated paradigm, which complicates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.
