> Looks like the time comes where Bigtop needs to step up and champion new revolutionary format for packaging of the Hadoop.
> New UPS provides completely relocatable archive-like media of distribution for the content and the services alike. Preparation of an UPS deliverables shouldn't require any special development tools nor particular SDL: only cross-platform archives and widely available command-line interpreters would be a per-requisite for the creation and installation.
> In our opinion, the separation of the services and content of the applications, e.g. .deb and .rpm, are an outdated paradigm, which complicates the deployment processes, upgrades, and overall system orchestration.
> Architectural proposal will follow shortly.
