Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1579:
--------------------------------------------

Thanks for the explanation. I agree that the original code was a bit messy - 
sorry about it. Although I have an excuse: I was trying to replicate the make 
stuff ;) At any rate... I think the change you've made is in fact correct: 
thanks for standing your ground! 

I wish there's a way to have a test for tasks like this... IMO a test is the 
best way to document the logic like you've described above. Can you think of a 
way to test this stuff? 

+1 otherwise. I will a bit to see if anyone have any comments on how to test 
this type of build functionality. Will commit this later today or in the 
morning.

> Right now, we apply changes/patches in the do-build-component script in the 
> bigtop-packages/common/<package> part of the build process .
> Would be cleaner and easier to use the RPM / Deb functionality of RPMbuild / 
> debuild to apply patches. But right now the gradle script is not flexible 
> enough. Since make is now obsolete we can improve this situation.
