------------------------------------
Summary: broken mesos.native egg is published on PyPI
Key: MESOS-1897
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1897
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Bug
Components: python api, release
Reporter: Kevin Sweeney
Priority: Critical
There's a mesos.native egg [published on
PyPI|https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mesos.native] that contains C extensions
compiled against Ubuntu 14.04's glibc. Python's packaging system isn't smart
enough to figure out that this egg is incompatible with other systems' glibc
(such as CentOS 6) and will download it anyway.
As Aurora's executor is written in Python this is causing our users build
system pain (see AURORA-823).
The correct thing to do here is to publish a source distribution ({{python
setup.py sdist upload}}) and let the installer compile native code at {{pip
install}}/{{pants build}}/{{python setup.py install}} time (linking against
installed mesos .h/.so/.a files).
For an example of how to do this, see the Thrift project
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/thrift/0.9.1). Note that only a source
distribution is uploaded, not binary eggs, but native extensions will be
compiled during {{pip install}}.
