Scott Kuehn commented on ACCUMULO-19:
-------------------------------------
Quick status update, FYI --
I've evaluated these options for integrating debian pkg support:
- maven-deb plugin: incomplete, and only supports jar projects
- maven-unix plugin: can not be run as a second-level mvn goal, so the project
pom would have to be refactored
- running ant-plugin, which contains a deb target. This is the way zookeeper's
deb and rpm packaging work, but I only want to wrap another build system as a
last ditch effort.
I'm now investigating a newer maven-debian plugin called jdeb:
https://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/blob/master/docs/maven.md
and it looks promising. My current issue is figuring out how to run the plugin
at the *end* of the packaging phase b/c my current config is executing the jdeb
target prior to packaging the main module.
This ticket also relates to bigger issue of organizing distribution packages,
and files related to run-time, such as everything in bin. We should continue
considering the addition of a top level distribution package.
I'm hoping to find some time to pump something out over the next few days.
> Debian packaging support
> ------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-19
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-19
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: dist
> Reporter: Scott Kuehn
> Priority: Minor
>
> This ticket is for improving Accumulo ease-of-installation by adding built-in
> support for debian packing.
> Debian pkg support requires:
> 1. Creating the deb package lifecycle hook scripts, such as 'preinst' and
> 'postinst'
> 2. Creating an init.d script (one of these already exists in bin/)
> 3. Integrating deb construction into the build lifecycle. There are some mvn
> dpkg plugins, but Im not sure how well these work. It might just be easier
> to run the deb construction as a delegated ant task (via the maven's antrun
> plugin)
> Outline of required files: Putting all related packing files under
> src/packages, which is consistent with other Apache projects, such as
> zookeeper.
> The following dpkg hooks go in src/packages/deb/accumulo.control/:
> conffile, control, postinst, postrm, preinst, prerm
> An init.d script (which I think can just be a copy of bin/etc_initd_accumulo)
> goes in src/packages/init.d:
