> So should I stop rolling these? I do not think so, cloudera is managing their own patch level and they are more likely to chose stability over latest and greatest. I liked the layout and the init scripts, but I needed the more bleeding edge features.
I did some searching but was not able to find your source.rpm. So I just tweaked the 20.1 code for 20.2. It only took me a couple of hours. Now I can probably patch in a new version in a few minutes. I think we could definitely build out an ant target that prepares the spec file. Having the .spec file as just a plain file in the contrib would make it easier to find. The downside is a static spec file could fall out of date. I really need the RPM for my own evil internal purposes :).Cloudera's repo might be more heavily vetted then some might want. If that is a general need that people share I do not mind running a repo for the latest. Edward
