 I'll be working on getting any of the packaged dependencies from natty

Ok, jets3t has been uploaded and cassandra copied to the lucid and
maverick releases, so this PPA should work for users on 10.04 and later
now.

2010-11-27 Thread Clint Byrum
FYI, 0.7.0~rc1 debs are available in a new PPA for experimental
releases:

http://launchpad.net/~cassandra-ubuntu/+archive/experimental

When 0.7.0 is officially released they will be available in the stable
release PPA here:

http://launchpad.net/~cassandra-ubuntu/+archive/stable

These are mostly the same packages as available in the official
Cassandra archive, but are intended to provide any Ubuntu specific
integration that may be necessary (thus far, this has not been
necessary). With 0.7, there will be an effort to get Cassandra to build
with as many of the system java libraries as possible, rather than the
embedded jars.

 Now, before you scramble off to start an upgrade, I'm obligated to
 remind you that this is not an official stable release.  It's a release
 *candidate*.  My confidence in it is high but you should be suitably
 skeptical until testing it yourself. So... test it yourself, mmmkay?
 
 As usual, please be sure to read through the changes[1] and release

2010-11-24 Thread Nate McCall
The corresponding RPMs can be found on http://rpm.riptano.com

Instructions for adding the riptano repository can be found here:
http://www.riptano.com/blog/announcing-rpms-cassandra

***This is not an upgrade from the 0.6.x RPMs. See below for details

Notes:
- if you have 0.6.x RPMs installed, do not even attempt this on a
production cluster until you fully understand the ramifications of
upgrading from 0.6 to 0.7
- the name for the 0.7.x series will be cassandra07 to avoid
conflicts with upgrade/update from 0.6.x
- the RPM itself conflicts with the 0.6 package so you must uninstall
the 0.6 RPM first (it will leave your data and existing configurations
intact)
  * this may change in the future but requires modifications to some
of the scripts in contrib
- you must load/convert your schema to yaml yourself. See NEWS.txt in
the release (http://goo.gl/cCabD) for details

For any feedback or issues with the RPMs, please let me know directly.

Cheers,
-Nate
