David Stendardi updated KAFKA-1324:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
The following patch add a task releaseDeb to the gradle build :

./gradlew releaseDeb

This task should create a debian package in core/build/distributions using fpm :
https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm.

We decided to use fpm so other package types would be easy to provide in 
further iterations (eg : rpm).

*Some implementations details* :

- We splitted the releaseTarGz in two tasks : distDir, releaseTarGz.
- We tried to use gradle builtin variables (project.name etc...)
- By default the service will not start automatically so the user is free to 
setup the service with custom configuration.


Notes : 
 * FPM is required and should be in the path.
 * FPM does not allow yet to declare /etc/default/kafka as a conffiles (see : 
https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/668)
