RPMs are available via rpm.riptano.com There have been a few more changes to the package structure since rc2, primarily to bring the Riptano RPM in-line with the spec file included in the source tree (see below for details). This should be the last round of naming and version changes - apologies for any inconveniences.
As with any package, you should test this thoroughly on your own infrastructure before deploying into production. Changes: - Package name is now "apache-cassandra" * Obsoletes "cassandra07" * Conflicts 0.6.x versions named "cassandra" (which should be removed - data directories will remain intact when you do) - ulimit for unlimited memlock will be added to /etc/security/limits.d/cassandra.conf - default configuration file copies are now located in /etc/cassandra/default.conf/ Any issues or feedback, please let us know. -Nate On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 7:12 PM, Eric Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ho ho holy crap, even on x-mas eve.
