Then I have to ask: if you're testing this as part of your end-to-end system testing you're really not testing the right thing (remember: in production those scripts are gone in pretty much most of the distros). If you're simply testing Hadoop from a quick smoke test perspective, why bother with packages to begin with? Untar the binary tarball an go. Thanks, Roman. P.S. I remember having this exact discussion with Cloudera QA team way back when: if you're not testing what your customers will be deploying you're not really testing much.
