Evgeny Vereshchagin commented on KAFKA-1520:
--------------------------------------------
It's demo version and too early to document this:)
And maybe it's wrong way.
Theoretically you can install it on any platform that supports Python2.7.
Installation instruction same as
[here|https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/rbtools/0.6/#installation]
That package depends on tools required for kafka-patch-review script: RBTools
and jira-python.
I want add features to automate, for example, these
[steps|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Patch+submission+and+review#Patchsubmissionandreview-Simplecontributorworkflow],
because manual branch managment and rebasing too magically for most people.
But I don't understand workflow very well, yet.
And maybe some Kafka developers has useful Python/Bash/Ruby helper scripts or
[Vagrant|http://www.vagrantup.com/] files for creating development environment.

> Hi!
> It' s too hard to contribute.
> I spend two days for configuring jira, reviewboard and jenkins.
> Manual installation of jira-python and RBTools with these
> [instructions|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Patch+submission+and+review]
> was awful.
> I create [package|https://pypi.python.org/pypi/kafka-dev-tools/] with
> kafka-patch-review script. Now all dependencies installs automatically and
> script installs to required place.
> Is there any tools for automating developers tasks? I can add it to package.
