I'm flustered trying to get the maven assembly correct without going
bananas with include / excludes. The issue I need help with:
We have 8 (9, really) modules that need to be packaged in an assembly. They
are:
flume-ng-core
flume-ng-node
flume-ng-dist
flume-ng-sinks (pom only)
flume-hdfs-sink
flume-ng-channels (pom only)
flume-file-channel (currently broken, but it will exist at some point)
flume-jdbc-channel
There's also the top level pom which is the parent for the immediate 5
children (2 of which are parents for their respective children).
The assembly descriptor I'm writing lives in flume-ng-dist. Ideally, we
build a hybrid source / bin package that looks exactly like what you'd get
from a checkout *but* with the code already built so the shell scripts Just
Work.
e.g.
/{modules}
/lib
/bin
/{README, NOTICE, LICENSE, ...}
Where {modules} would be the immediate child plus their modules where
applicable. This, apparently, is very difficult to do without flattening
all modules as the hierarchy is (kinda) lost during build. I'm going to
push what I have to a feature branch as flume-878 in case someone has time
to look at it.
Another alternative is to flatten the modules out, physically.
