Martin Schröder commented on KAFKA-1324:
----------------------------------------
bq. I think we can leave packaging out of Kafka itself since this is done in a
bunch of places now.
Excuse me - where? Googling brings up a bunch of scripts for Kafka 0.8 and not
newer. And I see no repo for the latest release (0.11) anywhere.
> Debian packaging
> ----------------

> Key: KAFKA-1324
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1324
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: packaging
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: David Stendardi
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: deb, debian, fpm, newbie, packaging
> Attachments: packaging.patch
>
>
> The following patch add a task releaseDeb to the gradle build :
> ./gradlew releaseDeb
> This task should create a debian package in core/build/distributions using
> fpm :
> https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm.
> We decided to use fpm so other package types would be easy to provide in
> further iterations (eg : rpm).
> *Some implementations details* :
> - We splitted the releaseTarGz in two tasks : distDir, releaseTarGz.
> - We tried to use gradle builtin variables (project.name etc...)
> - By default the service will not start automatically so the user is free to
> setup the service with custom configuration.
> Notes :
> * FPM is required and should be in the path.
> * FPM does not allow yet to declare /etc/default/kafka as a conffiles (see :
> https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/668)
