Shivram Mani commented on HAWQ-1421:
------------------------------------
[~rlei] this is good feedback.
We can remove the version information from the rpm name.
With regards to the username, we will resort to using systems user.name only if
the BUILD_NUMBER variable isn't set. Ideally the BUILD_NUMBER needs to be set.
As a default i think it is fine if we stick to the username, otherwise we will
have to default to a hardcoded value of 1 which isn't good.
We do need to include the apache tomcat rpm as this is not publicly available.
tomcat is only distributed via source
I don't think we need to change any pxf rpm dependancies. Having dependancy on
hadoop rpms works with all well known hadoop distributions

> If we build pxf rpm package by 'make rpm', we will get below pxf packages:
> {quote}
> apache-tomcat-7.0.62-el6.noarch.rpm
> pxf-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> pxf-hbase_3_2_1_0-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> pxf-hdfs_3_2_1_0-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> pxf-hive_3_2_1_0-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> pxf-jdbc_3_2_1_0-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> pxf-json_3_2_1_0-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> pxf-service_3_2_1_0-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> {quote}
> These rpm packages have dependencies on Apache Hadoop components only, some
> other Hadoop distributes can't satisfy it. E.g. :
> {quote}
> rpm -ivh pxf-hdfs_3_2_1_0-3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch.rpm
> error: Failed dependencies:
> pxf-service_3_2_1_0 >= 3.2.1.0 is needed by
> pxf-hdfs_3_2_1_0-0:3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch
> hadoop >= 2.7.1 is needed by pxf-hdfs_3_2_1_0-0:3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch
> hadoop-mapreduce >= 2.7.1 is needed by
> pxf-hdfs_3_2_1_0-0:3.2.1.0-root.el6.noarch
> {quote}
> We'd better make the rpm package name format and dependencies better.
> 1. Remove the version string like '3_2_1_0'.
> 2. Remove the user name from the build environment.
> 3. Consider do we need to include the apache-tomcat rpm package into HAWQ
> rpm release tarball.
> 4. Improve the hard code 'el6' string. (This might be optinal)
> 5. Improve the dependencies, including the dependencies between these pxf
> rpm packages.
