Another question -- can I just change "Ant" to "Maven" in this opening sentence (or should it specify a Maven version)?
Installing Hive is simple and only requires having Java 1.6 and Ant > installed on your machine. To deal with installation instructions that need Ant for previous releases, I'm thinking of adding a note with a link to the old wikidoc in the page history. That seems simpler than maintaining duplicate instructions. Are there any reasons not to use the page history as supplemental documentation? Or perhaps it would be better to create a child page based on the old wikidoc. Whatever we decide to do, the same could be done for developer docs. -- Lefty On Sun, Nov 24, 2013 at 7:33 PM, Xuefu Zhang <xzh...@cloudera.com> wrote: > Lefty, please see my comments below. > > > The current distribution directory is located at > > > > > > > > packaging/target/apache-hive-0.13.0-SNAPSHOT-bin/apache-hive-0.13.0-SNAPSHOT-bin/, > > > which corresponds to previous build/dist/. > > > > The wiki needs a generic location, since we can't update it with every > > release (and people might install an older version). > > So would this work, or is the location variable? > > > > packaging/target/apache-hive-*<release_string>*-bin/apache-hive- > > *<release_string>*-bin/ > > > > > This seems fine, but I think this might be changing over time in the 0.13 > release as maven is just introduced.
