Thomas Koch commented on ZOOKEEPER-999:
---------------------------------------

Hi Eric,

I'd suggest to drop the building of deb packages from your patch and instead join efforts to have ZooKeeper in Debian as polished and current as possible. There's very much more about a proper .deb package then just getting the thing running.
Do you have any need for .deb packages of snapshots or is it enough for you to have packages for each release?

I don't know anything about RPMs so I can't give any suggestions about that. Have you asked anybody at Red Hat / Fedora to build official packages?

I've asked on IRC and fedora people pointed me to the following pages if someone wants to start building RPMs:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join

Do you really need RPMs?

Please also keep in mind that there already are "inofficial" ZooKeeper packages from cloudera.
