Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-9008:
---------------------------------------
It looks like this is going to have to be Python. Trying to do this purely
with Maven plugins, I see that it drops the symlinks that were created as part
of the Linux native builds. It's also cumbersome to set file permissions
correctly with the Maven plugin.

> Key: HADOOP-9008
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9008
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: trunk-win
> Reporter: Ivan Mitic
> Assignee: Chris Nauroth
>
> Trying to build Hadoop trunk tarball via {{mvn package -Pdist -DskipTests
> -Dtar}} fails on Windows.
> Build system generates sh scripts that execute build tasks what does not work
> on Windows without Cygwin. It might make sense to apply the same pattern as
> in HADOOP-8924, and use python instead of sh.
