paul cannon updated CASSANDRA-3480: ----------------------------------- Attachment: 3480.patch.txt > allow 'cassandra' deb to replace 'apache-cassandra1' > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3480 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3480 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Packaging > Environment: Debian-based distros > Reporter: paul cannon > Assignee: paul cannon > Priority: Minor > Attachments: 3480.patch.txt > > > Datastax has begun distributing [1], due to a miscommunication, a debian > package identical to the one distributed by Apache, but with its package name > changed to "apache-cassandra1". Datastax now intends to go back to using the > Apache packages unchanged, but it is going to take some time since we have > also released a suite of tools, demos, products, and documentation that refer > to the "apache-cassandra1" name, and it will take some more QA and > documentation updates before we can make the full transition back. In the > meantime, though, more people are installing the apache-cassandra1 deb. > To minimize confusion between the two, and facilitate the transition away > from apache-cassandra1, I recommend that we add these lines to Cassandra's > debian/control: > {noformat} > Conflicts: apache-cassandra1 > Replaces: apache-cassandra1 > {noformat} > ..so that users of apache-cassandra1 will be able to install the cassandra > deb from Apache without losing their configuration or needing to fully > uninstall one, then install the other. It will also keep users from > mistakenly trying to install both packages at the same time (it won't work if > they try; they'll see errors, but they might not make sense). > [1] http://debian.datastax.com/community/pool/ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
