Ryan Williams commented on SPARK-4501: -------------------------------------- Would this ideally just fork out to some package manager depending on what system the user is apparently running, or try to download and build zinc source in a way that we've tried and determined to usually work (since apparently people keep running into pitfalls attempting to do this outside of {{brew}} on OSX), or what do you have in mind? > Create build/mvn to automatically download maven/zinc/scalac > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-4501 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4501 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Build > Reporter: Patrick Wendell > Assignee: Prashant Sharma > > For a long time we've had the sbt/sbt and this works well for users who want > to build Spark with minimal dependencies (only Java). It would be nice to > generalize this to maven as well and have build/sbt and build/mvn, where > build/mvn was a script that downloaded Maven, Zinc, and Scala locally and set > them up correctly. This would be totally "opt in" and people using system > maven would be able to continue doing so. > My sense is that very few maven users are currently using Zinc even though > from some basic tests I saw a huge improvement from using this. Also, having > a simple way to use Zinc would make it easier to use Maven on our jenkins > test machines. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
