No worries! I don't mean to be getting in the way of Bigtop, I just know
that I can move faster and provide the ability for people to make
Accumulo RPM/DEBs in fewer steps, while the bigger cogs spin.
Thank you for your efforts.
WRT packagin tests, we have a number of tests already in our tree (in
addition to lots of people who like to think about tests). I'm sure we
can help there :)

Sorry it's been progressing slowly - I've been quite busy lately. I'll push
to get that committed soon. I think the only hesitance others had to put it
in master is there's a Bigtop release planned very soon and they want to
start stabilizing that one - I expect it'd be merge to master as soon as
that release is done, although packaging tests will need to be written as
well.

While I don't agree we messed up (I think this is the correct order:
upstream release, then downstream packaging; and I like this distinction),
I'm glad you did this. Thanks for putting these together. Hopefully this
will benefit the BigTop users and Accumulo users interested in BigTop.
Thanks, Josh!

One rather user-facing change that we made with 1.6.0 was the removal of
the RPM and DEB packaging from our tree. We did this because maintenance
of
that packaging code was historically a problem, and we felt like bigtop
would be a better home for it rather then perpetuate the bit-rot.
Personally, I think we messed up by removing the code from our tree
before
bigtop has the necessary pieces in place. Since getting the code into
bigtop is still progressing slowly[1], I've forked bigtop[2], added the
patch and fixed some bugs that are currently in the patch.
It's fairly easy to generate the packaging if you have some time to walk
through it. I successfully installed and ran Accumulo 1.6.0 via Bigtop on
Centos6.5 today.
Rough outline:
1. Download the code from [2]
2. Look at the DEVNOTES [3] and install the prereqs (there may be more,
but I tried to update the list)
3. Ensure Maven and Gradle are installed too
4. gradle hadoop-rpm
5. gradle zookeeper-rpm
6. gradle bigtop-jsvc
7. gradle bigtop-utils
8. gradle accumulo-rpm
(check out `gradle tasks` for more info on steps 4-8).
Then, install the packages which are placed in the build/ directory at
the
top level of the repo. `find` is your friend. the Accumulo RPMs and SRPMs
both built successfully. I haven't tried building DEBs yet, so YMMV
there.
(hopefully will make some time later this week).
