Thomas Koch commented on ZOOKEEPER-999: --------------------------------------- IRC chat between thkoch and mahadev, march 01 <t> Hi. Do you need only rpm packages of ZK or also .deb packages? <m> i dont really need either... i just thought it would be good for community to get it from ZK <m> no ? <t> There already are cloudera packages and Debian packages. Having them from ZK also only adds to the confusion. I know that my colleagues did spend time to compare advantages and disadvantages of Debian packages vs. cloudera packages <m> thats the reason to do it in ZK <m> to remove any confusion <m> the easier it is if apache ZK can be the source of truth for RPM's <t> IMHO it's best to leave the packaging to the distributions. They know best about integration, QA of integration and release management <t> I really don't know about RPM but Debian is doing a great job in QA and application lifecycle <m> could be in some cases .... but i'd really like folks on RHEL and debian to be able ot say rpm install <m> or simmilar for debian <m> and do it via apache releases <t> you can do apt-get install zookeeper already <m> i totally believe it ..... <m> agreed if debian guys are already doing it we can throw away zk for deb <m> makes sense to me <m> but RPMs should be useful no? <m> if red had starts doing it ... am willing to throw that away as well <m> what do you think? <t> It would kind of invalidate my work, if Apache would provide Debian packages... About Red Hat I couldn't care less. :-) I only know from colleagues, that packaging for Red Hat should be a major pain. <m> if debian provides zk releases <t> I'd only suggest to coordinate with cloudera about the RPMs. They already provide RPMs. Maybe one could join forces to bring them into Fedora/Red Hat as official packages <m> i'd be happy to ...... you want to comment on the jira? <t> I already commented on the jira. <m> the idea of folks contributing to apache is to help them contribute <m> and not to throw away there work ..... <m> :) <m> in case of debian it makes sense since we already have debian > Create an package integration project > ------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-999 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-999 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: build > Environment: Java 6, RHEL/Ubuntu > Reporter: Eric Yang > Assignee: Eric Yang > Fix For: 3.4.0 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-999.patch > > > This goal of this ticket is to generate a set of RPM/debian package which > integrate well with RPM sets created by HADOOP-6255. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
