Review request for kafka.
Bugs: KAFKA-1324
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1324
Repository: kafka
Description
-------
The following patch add a task releaseDeb to the gradle build :
./gradlew releaseDeb
This task should create a debian package in core/build/distributions using fpm
:
https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm.
We decided to use fpm so other package types would be easy to provide in
further iterations (eg : rpm).
*Some implementations details* :
- We splitted the releaseTarGz in two tasks : distDir, releaseTarGz.
- We tried to use gradle builtin variables (project.name etc...)
- By default the service will not start automatically so the user is free to
setup the service with custom configuration.
Notes :
* FPM is required and should be in the path.
* FPM does not allow yet to declare /etc/default/kafka as a conffiles (see :
https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/668)
