Jakob Homan commented on KAFKA-1490: ------------------------------------ bq. The current bootstrap workflow in kafka is something like. The user: Not quite. For repos, the gradlew script is still included. However, I just checked it out and it's not running for me right out of the box. This is a bug and I'll look into it. Current bootstrap workflow for cloning a repo (assuming gradlew is working...): * Clone repo * Do whatever you like with ./gradlew Current bootstrap workflow for building from a source release: * Have some version of Gradle installed - yeah, this is annoying but for the reasons discussed above, currently unavoidable... * Untar source release * gradle downloadWrapper - This task should probably be moved to a separate boostrap.gradle file, as Samza has done, to be as simple and therefore as compatible with as many versions of Gradle as possible > remove gradlew initial setup output from source distribution > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1490 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1490 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Joe Stein > Assignee: Ivan Lyutov > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8.2.0 > > Attachments: KAFKA-1490-2.patch, KAFKA-1490.patch, rb25703.patch > > > Our current source releases contains lots of stuff in the gradle folder we do > not need -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
