Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-998:
--------------------------------------

Actually my own opinion on this has changed somewhat, and I've been meaning to 
circle back and resolve this as "Won't Fix". When I originally heard this 
suggestion from a user I agreed with it based on my experience with the 
original packaging code. I was not yet familiar with some of the more recent 
changes that have actually resulted in a better set of packages than what I'm 
suggesting here, and pretty clean code.

It seems that since I first saw the packaging for Hue that all of the apps that 
are actually required for Hue to function already are included in the 
'hue-common' package, and the remaining packages really are optional add-ons. 
There's a meta-package 'hue' that will install everything, but users that want 
the modularity can still benefit from it. That seems ideal, and the code is 
much cleaner now than I remember it being - I just wasn't very aware of the 
work that had since gone into it.

So unless you disagree with that I'm still inclined to actually leave Hue as it 
is. Thoughts? My apologies for not updating this sooner :)

> Currently every Hue app is packaged independently. This is nice and modular, 
> but the benefits of doing so are diminishing (more and more of some of the 
> apps have been moving into the core of Hue, like Oozie) and I see little 
> down-side to just installing all of Hue. This will also simplify the code 
> dramatically and substantially lower the amount of work needed to be done as 
> new apps are added in future releases of Hue.
