Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-10772:
------------------------------------
Hadoop rpm packaging was removed due to conversion to maven. Source code
refactoring was what discontinued rpm packaging to evolve. Maven did not have
good support in building rpm packages in the past. Now, there is a maven rpm
plugin, this should be much easier to package in Hadoop. When packaging is
outside of Hadoop, the developer needs to modify Hadoop and modify BigTop in
order to support new platform. This is sub-optimal method to maintain
modulation for the project. I view this as a community's response to a needed
feature. RPM packages has been maintained for Hadoop 1.2.1 in parity with
latest release of Hadoop 1.2.1, much appreciated of efforts in the community.
This effort could make future Hadoop versions more polish to run on other
platforms without dependent on release cycle of Bigtop.
