This is a straw poll to assess whether there is support to keep and fix, or remove, the Debian packaging-related config in Spark.
I see several oldish outstanding JIRAs relating to problems in the packaging: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1799 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2614 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3624 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4436 (and a similar idea about making RPMs) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-665 The original motivation seems related to Chef: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2614?focusedCommentId=14070908&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14070908 Mark's recent comments cast some doubt on whether it is essential: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/4277#issuecomment-72114226 and in recent conversations I didn't hear dissent to the idea of removing this. Is this still useful enough to fix up? All else equal I'd like to start to walk back some of the complexity of the build, but I don't know how all-else-equal it is. Certainly, it sounds like nobody intends these to be used to actually deploy Spark. I don't doubt it's useful to someone, but can they maintain the packaging logic elsewhere? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@spark.apache.org
