Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-786:
--------------------------------------

Skimming through the patch I noticed lines like ...

%setup -q -n apache-cassandra-incubating-%{dist_version}-src

... that make me think this needs to be updated, (the `incubating' suffix has 
been removed).

Also, I'm not sure if 786-trunk-jar-changes.diff was meant to be applied to the 
build.xml in svn, or to be applied during the RPM build, but if it's the 
former, than consider this a -1 for that patch. The whole point of using Ivy 
was to avoid the problems in redistributing third-party binary artifacts.

> RPM packages (and debs of course) would be nice,especially now that cassandra 
> is maturing and gaining more interest.
> Lowering the threshold for getting cassandra running and getting started is 
> also important.
> I think the RabbitMQ project has an admirable "Download and install" 
> experience, not to mention the rather cute "2 min guarantee". Definitely a 
> good inspiration.
> I've been studying Cloudera's Hadoop packages, which are very nice, and 
> really appreciate the separate packages for configuration.
> This allows easy deployment of node configuration to a cluster.
> I'll have a spec file for building RHEL5 / CentOS packages ready for review 
> and attached here in a bit.
