Is storm-0.9.1.2.1.7.0-784.el6.src.rpm required?

Hi,

I am installing HDP cluster v2.1.7, with Storm service.  I found 2 RPM packages for Storm:

*         storm-0.9.1.2.1.7.0-784.el6.noarch.rpm

*         storm-0.9.1.2.1.7.0-784.el6.src.rpm

I am wondering what storm-0.9.1.2.1.7.0-784.el6.src.rpm does. It seems like it does nothing during installation. Is this package really required?  If so, when is it needed?

Thanks,
-Tao

You should find as part of the src.rpm a spec file. The spec file will give you the option which have been used at compilation time.

Thanks

Thanks Sean!

So how are these 2 RPM packages generated? Were they created based on Storm source (to compile and build) or just create RPM with binary only?

Tao - 'src.rpm' typically contains the source code for that package. While the non-src RPMs provide the compiled package. This is the practice with all packages from RedHat, CentOS, ...

Tao - I’m not sure, and that would likely be a question for the Storm devs as the members of this list wouldn’t be involved with packaging Storm.

As mentioned though, ‘src.rpm’ is almost always the raw src which is added to the system for use by other applications which need it to build, which may be the case for applications that work with storm. The package in itself typically does nothing and does not provide executables. In some cases they will contain RPM spec for building packages, but not always.
