Hi Edward, Andrew, Jeff H and I were discussing this a while ago. I had someone else ask for a .deb of the current release. Andrew created the older rpm's for Cloudera (I think) back then but cannot really maintain them. So I personally would appreciate someone hosting those on their own infrastructure and we point to it. I back then suggested we add scripts to contrib which builds the respective .rpm or .deb (or add it to the ant build.xml so that it can be run). Andrew pointed out that this is difficult as the specific install scripts require intimate knowledge as to where things are located (like where is Hadoop etc.). Maybe we simply start with a standard based layout and a Cloudera CDH layout and add more as needed? Because once you have added those build scripts in either location (thinking about it I guess contrib is best as it needs those scripts and other possible resources that need to be packed into the package - but could still be all tied up in an ant script as that is platform independent) anyone can build them or use yours which you build the same way but host already done. What do you think?
