[jira] [Commented] (HCATALOG-14) Make it possible to build HCatalog using the HCatalog Git mirror

["Jakob Homan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-14?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13036995#comment-13036995 ] 

Jakob Homan commented on HCATALOG-14:
-------------------------------------

Since there's been no response to my query about making svn do what we need it to do (http://bit.ly/jb1TF0), I was wondering why it's necessary to have the extern to Hive included at all, rather than just including a jar to Hive? Hive's now published to Maven: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/hive/, so snapshots should be available.  Are developers expecting to create patches against Hive and HCatalog at the same time?  What's the expected timeframe for removing the Hive external?

> There's a Git mirror of the HCatalog SVN repository available here: git://git.apache.org/hcatalog.git
> However, right now it's not possible to build HCatalog using the Git mirror because of the svn:external dependency on Hive:
> % ant 
> Buildfile: /Users/carl/Work/repos/hcatalog/build.xml
> hive.jar:
> BUILD FAILED
> /Users/carl/Work/repos/hcatalog/build.xml:202: Basedir /Users/carl/Work/repos/hcatalog/hive/external does not exist
> Total time: 0 seconds
