Paul Baclace commented on WHIRR-562:
------------------------------------
I want this; I need to do a workaround in 0.8.0.
Correction to description (I think): the function scripts use $REPO_HOST not
$REPO
The os_arch makes a difference too, so the approach here can handle anything
without complex factoring (amd64 is used by the cloudera repo for CDH4, but
x86_64 is reported by lsb_release.)
FYI: My workaround to use 12.04 precise:
1. copy any *.sh files that contain "deb-src" and "cdh" to
$WHIRR_HOME/functions (a newly created directory for overrides)
2. Use the following to obtain CDH4 for precise:
deb [arch=amd64] http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh
precise-cdh4 contrib
deb-src [arch=amd64] http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh
precise-cdh4 contrib
NOTE that the 'precise' vs. 'lucid' part could come from (lsb_release -s -c)
run in the script itself, but I have no idea how portable that is.
WHIRR-573 is related and committed, but did not achieve full factorization (as
described in a comment).

> Project: Whirr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: service/cdh
> Affects Versions: 0.7.1
> Reporter: Karel Vervaeke
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the distribution in the cloudera.list file looks like this:
> deb http://archive.cloudera.com/debian lucid-$REPO contrib
> deb-src http://archive.cloudera.com/debian lucid-$REPO contrib
> It would make sense if you would also be able to override the lucid- part.
