Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-2303:
--------------------------------------

bq. ... and my point was that if we're going to require the user to install 
jsvc, then we should also make them install commons, etc jars because Linux 
ships with them too.

I don't see how that necessarily follows. The jsvc binary is obviously not 
portable pre-compiled. The commons jars should be.

bq. (... and in the case of symlinking libcap... please stay off my boxes if 
you don't understand how shared libraries are supposed to work.)

Please note that I was not suggesting it as an actual solution. I also said "we 
should obviously get this resolved in a reasonable way."

> It would be nice to recompile jsvc as part of the native profile. This has a 
> number of benefits including an ability to re-generate all binary artifacts, 
> etc. Most of all, however, it will provide a way to generate jsvc on Linux 
> distributions that don't have matching libc
