Michael Shuler commented on CASSANDRA-13433:
--------------------------------------------
Feel free to attach your spec file, but I'd be most interested in the precise
steps for a user to go from the stock CentOS/RHEL 6 AWS AMIs to installing and
successfully starting the service and running cqlsh on these OS versions. If we
go there, this needs to be documented on the download page. I don't believe
just installing the Cassandra RPM will be able to pull dependencies, since it
sounds like there is a step to add some other repository. I imagine the
Cassandra versions that require JDK8 could also be problematic on CentOS 6?
Good starting points for step-by-step How-To on installing Cassandra with RPM.
[CentOS 6 AMI|https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00A6KUVBW]
[RHEL 6 AMI|https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B007ORSS8I]
I do think it would be interesting and helpful for users stuck on ancient OS
versions, but will require someone interested in those OS versions to do some
testing, update documentation, [add docker
builds|https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds] for these OS versions, and
verify what's built works properly (might also be possible in docker). Thanks!

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Stefan Podkowinski
> Assignee: Stefan Podkowinski
>
> Starting with CASSANDRA-13252, new releases will be provided as both official
> RPM and Debian packages. While the Debian packages are already well
> established with our user base, the RPMs just have been release for the first
> time and still require some attention.
> Feel free to discuss RPM related issues in this ticket and open a sub-task to
> fill a bug report.
> Please note that native systemd support will be implemented with
> CASSANDRA-13148 and this is not strictly a RPM specific issue. We still
> intent to offer non-systemd support based on the already working init scripts
> that we ship. Therefor the first step is to make use of systemd backward
> compatibility for SysV/LSB scripts, so we can provide RPMs for both systemd
> and non-systemd environments.
