Currently rpms are handled by downstream projects like Apache BigTop as well as commercial distributions. So in my view it's a duplication of efforts there, particularly since BigTop and distributions based on it also harmonize dependencies to a certain extent and we mark many of our dependencies as "provided".
So it's possible but not sure it's worth the effort since Flume depends on so many other projects like Hadoop, HBase, etc Mike On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 9:36 AM, Lior Zeno <liorz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Currently, we distribute Flume via a tarball.
