AW: Easy installer for Thrift in Windows
Andrew ,
this is great!
I really like that simplification of install on the Windows platform.
Adding such external download is not compatible with the Apache Policies as
far as I know.
That's why we removed links to latest builds from the download page :-(
Would be great to have your patches used to make NuGet within the Apache
Thrift code base.
"generate a .MSI that installs the thrift compiler and runtime libraries" is
a wish since 2010...
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-874
Let's use apt-get like SUPER COW POWER on windows by using NuGet and
chocolatey packaging.
all the best!
roger

Hey Andrew
Thanks for finding it and pointing it out, this would be useful to a lot of
windows users. I'll reach out to them

Apologies if I misspoke. I did not submit the installer, I just happened to
notice that it exists. If we send a gentle note on the Contact
Owners<https://chocolatey.org/packages/thrift/ContactOwners>page, we
can get some information on the installer source, maybe fork it
and comb through it.
I understand Apache's policy limiting external download links, no getting
around that. I think we can work together to get an official Apache Thrift
Windows installer listed on the official installation tutorial, especially
now that it's proven technologically possible.

No such policy that I'm aware of. All you need do is distinguish between official release artifacts and convenience artifacts that you may not control.
