Erich Schubert created BIGTOP-1827:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Tachyon package name conflict on Debian/Ubuntu
Key: BIGTOP-1827
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1827
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: Debian
Reporter: Erich Schubert
Debian and Ubuntu already have a package named "tachyon":
https://packages.debian.org/sid/tachyon
Parallel/Multiprocessor Ray Tracing Software
http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/raytracer/
which has been in Debian since 2008, and apparently was started in 1994.
Because this package has a higher version number (0.99~b2+dfsg-0.4) it will
always take precedence to the Bigtop "tachyon" package, and on upgrades this
will cause chaos.
Maybe the package should be named tachyon-java or apache-tachyon instead to
avoid upgrade problems?
