Hi Do you have a plan to use sbt native packager? In our forked branch, I added it under assembly directory. https://github.com/jpioug/incubator-predictionio Currently, both make-distribution.sh and sbt assembly/universal:packageBin work to build a binary distribution. I'd like to create rpm/deb package in the future... I'll contribute this task if you don't have any concerns.
