-----------------------------------------

bq. In install_hue.sh there are 2 variables related to logs: LOG_DIR and
DESKTOP_LOG_DIR. While they may be required by the environment, it may be
cleaner to keep it to one.
That's just a convention that we've got going in our _install.sh scripts. I
agree that it is a bit confusing since Hue has the same var, but it is probably
best to stay consistent within the _install.sh scripts.
bq. In hue-app-postinstall.tpl, hue-app.prerm.tpl and other app related files
kept some variables that are removed in other files, such as ROOT=/usr/lib/hue
That's on purpose. We need this functionality to remain for things that are
plugins into Hue. The model of Hue integration in Bigtop is that we prepackage
all the core bits together (and thus do not need to register them dynamically)
but things like beeswax and future plugins still need to run registration code
at package install time.
bq. In a few places user name "hue" is used without defining USER=hue
Could you, please, be a bit more specific? I could only see that in chown lines
which could arguably be changed.
bq. Tried a few commands. Met this problem: /usr/lib/hue/build/env/bin]$ sudo
./hue test
In general Bigtop packaging tries to remove test code from packages. Hence any
residual code is not expected to work. An argument could be had that we should
do a better job of completely removing hue test code, but it looks pretty
tightly integrated. Do you want to take a look at it?
bq. Off-topic question: why the build system does not detect change in the src
files, only `rm -rf <component>/build`?
Which build system are you referring to? The Bigtop itself or Hue? Can you,
please, be more specific?

> Currently Hue packaging does unfortunate things with permissions and
> mutability of things under /usr/lib/hue. We should make sure our virtual env
> is relocatable and can be used in a R/O fashion and we should move mutable
> bits (desktop.db and app.reg) under /var/lib/hue.
