             Summary: Make init.d scripts get into the assembly in a more maveny way
                 Key: ACCUMULO-2229
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2229
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
            Reporter: Michael Berman
            Priority: Minor


(forked from ACCUMULO-1983)

For 1.6 the init.d scripts were moved into the module for the corresponding service rather than all being piled into the assemble module.  To get them into the assembly, the scripts are just copied by path out of assemble's siblings.  This is simple and it's easy to see what's going on looking at the pom, but it definitely violates maven best practices (don't reference "..").  I think if we want to keep the init.d scripts with their corresponding modules, the maveny way to do it would be to declare the init.d script as an artifact of each module (of type "init.d" or something), and then declare them as dependencies of the packager, which could then use the copy-dependencies goal to get them into the assembly. It's more lines of pom and possibly more opaque as far as figuring out where each file is coming from, but it would be more portable and less sensitive to module rearrangements in the future.

Is this a good idea?  Is it pom overkill?
