Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-429:
--------------------------------------------
Also, I'm a bit opposed to having the the startup scripts jump through hoops to
ensure dependencies are installed. That seems like a lot of extra work that
ultimately doesn't help people get started. Sure, these might be useful for
informative errors, and such, especially for people running from the tarball.
Such "sanity checks" can help people find out why things aren't working.
However, I think it more fruitful (or at least as fruitful) to put some
emphasis on package management, and enumerating the proper dependencies in the
RPM/DEBs, so that if the package is installed, one can reasonably expect its
dependencies are installed as well (or, if not, the user knows what they are
doing).

> We do a fair amount of craziness to resolve paths, symlinks, etc. in our
