Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-1142:
------------------------------------------
I think this will be very useful to have. One word of caution though: a lot of
time Bigtop packaging decisions were made to simplify the experience of using
Bigtop across different Linux distros. IOW, we were opting out for consistency
within Bigtop itself, rather than a strict consistency with the particular
Linux packaging standard.
That said, it doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying as hard as we can not to
diverge too much from distro packaging standard.

> The bigtop specs and packaging results should be compared with the FHS
> guidelines http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/ , to
> confirm that everything is correct.
> 1) For example, it would be nice to confirm that the executables in bigtop
> were all in "/usr/bin/" and not "/usr/lib/...", etc...
> 2) Also, if possible, it would be nice if the effort that the fedora
> community is putting into packaging hadoop could be merged/synergistic with
> the efforts of the folks at bigtop.
> So, this JIRA is to create a first pass of a document/wiki page which
> documents the bigtop packaging strategy at a high level and compares it with
> other hadoop packaging efforts, with specific notes about how bigtop's
> broader packaging infrastructure diverges from that for a traditional OS.
