The statement of "no patch" is correct regardless of whether we're repackaging with a different .spec file or not. As for re-using the existing packaging infra available from the upstream projects -- that is definitely an option. However during our discussion on Thu it was clear that the majority of those present in the room who cared about the style of packaging Bigtop does were in favor of OS-style packaging. > If there are donated servers to host yum/apt repositories, it can easily be > automated through Jenkins by building as part of the original project. I'm interested in exploring this direction.

I understand these points, but my question was different -- where can I get Apache-released RPM/DEBs for these projects? Thanks, Roman.
