---------------------------------------
IRC chat between thkoch and mahadev, march 01
<t> Hi. Do you need only rpm packages of ZK or also .deb packages?
<m> i dont really need either... i just thought it would be good for community
to get it from ZK
<m> no ?
<t> There already are cloudera packages and Debian packages. Having them from
ZK also only adds to the confusion. I know that my colleagues did spend time to
compare advantages and disadvantages of Debian packages vs. cloudera packages
<m> thats the reason to do it in ZK
<m> to remove any confusion
<m> the easier it is if apache ZK can be the source of truth for RPM's
<t> IMHO it's best to leave the packaging to the distributions. They know best
about integration, QA of integration and release management
<t> I really don't know about RPM but Debian is doing a great job in QA and
application lifecycle
<m> could be in some cases .... but i'd really like folks on RHEL and debian
to be able ot say rpm install
<m> or simmilar for debian
<m> and do it via apache releases
<t> you can do apt-get install zookeeper already
<m> i totally believe it .....
<m> agreed if debian guys are already doing it we can throw away zk for deb
<m> makes sense to me
<m> but RPMs should be useful no?
<m> if red had starts doing it ... am willing to throw that away as well
<m> what do you think?
<t> It would kind of invalidate my work, if Apache would provide Debian
packages... About Red Hat I couldn't care less. :-) I only know from
colleagues, that packaging for Red Hat should be a major pain.
<m> if debian provides zk releases
<t> I'd only suggest to coordinate with cloudera about the RPMs. They already
provide RPMs. Maybe one could join forces to bring them into Fedora/Red Hat as
official packages
<m> i'd be happy to ...... you want to comment on the jira?
<t> I already commented on the jira.
<m> the idea of folks contributing to apache is to help them contribute
<m> and not to throw away there work .....
<m> :)
<m> in case of debian it makes sense since we already have debian
