[jira] Updated: (CASSANDRA-786) RPM Packages

["Peter Halliday (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-786?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Peter Halliday updated CASSANDRA-786:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: cassandra.spec

This spec will not compile a Fedora compliant binary.  However, it will work until the dependencies are all converted to RPM.  The big issue is that  RedHat/Fedora requires that all jars be installed into the java system path unless it's only app specific code.  So, getting in those OS' will be harder.  But until then this will provide a working RPM on 0.6.2 and above.

> RPM packages (and debs of course) would be nice,especially now that cassandra is maturing and gaining more interest.
> Lowering the threshold for getting cassandra running and getting started is also important.
> I think the RabbitMQ project has an admirable "Download and install" experience, not to mention the rather cute "2 min guarantee". Definitely a good inspiration.
> I've been studying Cloudera's Hadoop packages, which are very nice, and really appreciate the separate packages for configuration.
> This allows easy deployment of node configuration to a cluster.
> I'll have a spec file for building RHEL5 / CentOS packages ready for review and attached here in a bit.
