I’m trying to build .debs using jdeb and maven for various projects. For example, there is no .deb for spark. So I’m just taking the tar.gz and making a deb that installs to /usr/share/apache-spark.
The problem is I don’t want to put the full binary into git as it’s about 200MB. I’d rather have the build fetch the tar.gz directly from Apache during the build, untar it, then build the deb from the output. Is there and way to do this or should I just write a bash script which uses wget to fetch the URL? -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile <https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com>
