Steve Varnau created TRAFODION-2491:
---------------------------------------
Summary: pyinstaller - need option to install somewhere beside
/home
Key: TRAFODION-2491
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-2491
Project: Apache Trafodion
Issue Type: Bug
Components: installer
Affects Versions: 2.1-incubating
Environment: jenkins
Reporter: Steve Varnau
Assignee: Eason Zhang
The bash installer allows an arbitrary path for TRAF_HOME, but defaults to
/home/...
The pyinstaller allows an arbitrary directory name, but always places it in
home directory of TRAF_USER (trafodion).
Jenkins automation uses this feature to be sure log files can be archived from
the jenkins workspace. I think other folks testing on large clusters do as well.
Production use may also need this if /home filesystem is too small for logs and
other things that go there.
In future, we need installation in standard system locations (/usr/, /etc/,
/var/log, ...), but until then, I think we need flexible location of TRAF_HOME.
This is not a show-stopper for jenkins, but would make the transition a lot
easier.
