I created a JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5615) with a spec file for building a 0.19.1 RPM.
I like the idea of Cloudera's RPM file very much. In particular, it has nifty /etc/init.d scripts and RPM is nice for managing updates. However, it's for an older, patched version of Hadoop. This spec file is actually just Cloudera's, with suitable edits. The spec file does not contain an explicit license... if Cloudera have strong feelings about it, let me know and I'll pull the JIRA attachment. The JIRA includes instructions on how to roll the RPMs yourself. I would have attached the SRPM but they're too big for JIRA. I can offer noarch RPMs build with this spec file if someone wants to host them. Ian
