Eric Yang commented on ZOOKEEPER-999:
-------------------------------------
Hi Thomas,
The idea is to be able to bring more snapshots to the hands of the developers.
Distro based official release usually is more integrated with the OS and more
polished for the end user experience. However, the goal is to provide a set of
tools that can help early adaptors (developers) to deploy in test/production
environment. The packaging cycle is more rapid than distro official release
build. It would be challenging to map Apache packages to exactly the way
Debian customize the OS because other distro may have different ideas on
packaging. If we remove deb packaging from the build system, it would
discourage the developer to develop on Debian platform. RedHat does not have
RPMs for hadoop for now. When Redhat starts to package hadoop, Redhat team
will definitely have their own packaging sets with patches etc.
What I proposed here, is similar philosophy that you can download mysql from
mysql website with different binary packages options, but the OS vendor will
have a more stable and well integrated version.
