Nick Bailey updated CASSANDRA-786:
----------------------------------
Attachment: apache-cassandra.spec
Some changes to the last attached spec file:
* I think the package name should be apache-cassandra as it differentiates an
rpm from something that might be provided by Riptano or similar.
* Version updated to 0.70
* The package ant-nodeps is a dependency
* The build step should perform ant clean and indicate the release flag in
order for the jar to build correctly.
* I modified how configuration is handled. The package installs the basic
configuration at /usr/share/cassandra/default.conf and
/etc/cassandra/default.conf. Then alternatives are set up to point
/etc/cassandra/conf here with a priority of 0. This allows deployment specific
packages to install a custom alternative with a higher priority.
* The spec file should default to using the cassandra.in.sh in conf.
* Ticket CASSANDRA-1347 addresses making cassandra.in.sh not actually perform
jvm configuration. This allows someone to do all configuration by using an
alternative /etc/hadoop/conf directory.
* Modified the log files and conf files to give read access to the world.

> 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.
