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.
