Thanks for reaching out, Christopher! I am not entirely sure about the proposition. Are you proposing to harmonize the RPM packaging between what we provide here and what is going to Fedora/CentOS? That'd be grand, I guess.
I would like to learn how you propose we keep the code in sync, unless you would like to use the Bigtop specs as the upstream for your packaging effort. Then any changes could be up-streamed back through the usual Apache contribution process. What do you think? Thanks!
