--------------------------------------
Summary: Remove BUILD_HISTORICAL mode from native-toolchain
Key: IMPALA-12069
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12069
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure
Affects Versions: Impala 4.3.0
Reporter: Joe McDonnell
The native-toolchain keeps build code for all of the old versions of packages
in the repository under a BUILD_HISTORICAL option. BUILD_HISTORICAL can't
possibly function, because most old versions are not buildable with GCC 10 (or
even GCC 7). To my knowledge, no one has used it for any reason in the past
several years.
It complicates the repository, because build scripts must handle old versions
alongside new versions. Patches for old versions of components never get
deleted. This makes no sense, because all of the logic is available in the git
history.
This tracks removing BUILD_HISTORICAL and cleaning up the repository to remove
old build scripts, old patches, etc.
