> Key: IMPALA-12069

> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: Impala 4.3.0
> Reporter: Joe McDonnell
> Assignee: Joe McDonnell
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Impala 4.3.0
>
>
> 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.
