[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-9271) revert Python build scripts from branch-trunk-win

Chris Nauroth created HADOOP-9271:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: revert Python build scripts from branch-trunk-win
                 Key: HADOOP-9271
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9271
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: trunk-win
            Reporter: Chris Nauroth
            Assignee: Chris Nauroth


On branch-trunk-win, some work was committed to convert custom build scripting to Python as a cross-platform solution to support builds on both Linux and Windows.  The community has since rejected this solution.  This issue tracks removal of the Python build code from branch-trunk-win.

This will restore branch-trunk-win to the same state as trunk, which uses shell for custom build scripting.  This means that developers working on branch-trunk-win will once again need sh.exe on the PATH to build the distribution.  This will be a temporary state.  A subsequent jira will add build scripts specific to Windows, using a language more common in a Windows development environment.  The community has approved minimal use of multiple platform-specific scripting languages.
