Dear List, I have been working on automated packaging for Mesos on Debian and Ubuntu.
https://github.com/solidsnack/mesos-deb-packaging/ Much thanks is due to Tomas Barton, who got the ball rolling on this and put together much of the code in the repo above. The present collection of init scripts and build options is used regularly for automated rollouts of Mesos at my firm, on Debian and Ubuntu, in conjunction with tools using the Java API. We are looking in to proper installation and setup of the Python libraries. The `build_mesos' script is useful for those wishing to build and release internal forks of Mesos, too. Support for RedHat/CentOS is important to us and is planned for the near future. We'd like to see Mesos make its way in to the repositories someday. What we have is a solid foundation and it seems like integrating with mainline Mesos early is the best way to make for a smooth transition in the future. Would it be alright to add this material to http://git.apache.org/incubator-mesos.git under a new directory, "packaging"? This tooling will eventually grow to encompass Homebrew as well as RPMs so its probably just as well to keep the name distro agnostic. -- Jason Dusek pgp // solidsnack // C1EBC57DC55144F35460C8DF1FD4C6C1FED18A2B
