[jira] [Created] (BIGTOP-118) Check to ensure our build system requirements are actually declared properly in the packaging.

Check to ensure our build system requirements are actually declared properly in the packaging.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BIGTOP-118
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-118
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: General
            Reporter: Peter Linnell
            Assignee: Peter Linnell
            Priority: Minor


Some of packaging makes some assumptions that bash and some other low level tools are always available on all our build platforms, when in fact we do not explicitly test for them or declare them inside control or spec files.   This ticket is to review this and propose changes if needed.

-----------------------------------------

I think bash is not that big of a deal at all. We end up having an explicit dependency on it anyway and besides, it is difficult to find a UNIX system these days where it is not installed. In fact, finding a real sh is a challenge (Solaris is the only OS that still has a *real* sh).

Gathering the list of packages installed by default may be a good start
