Eric Newton commented on ACCUMULO-19:
-------------------------------------
Thanks Scott,
I patched the 1.4 branch, and was able to build a .deb and install it on my
Ubuntu laptop. I had to install Cloudera cdh3u2 to satisfy the "hadoop"
dependency.
Shouldn't the package depend on default-jre instead of jdk? Is this a
difference between debian and ubuntu?
I naively tried to run the resulting install, and as expected, it failed
horribly. I created ACCUMULO-210 to build on this package for a better user
install experience. If you wanted to take on this ticket, that would be great!

> 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:
