Patrick Dignan updated KAFKA-8259:
----------------------------------
Description:
RPM packaging eases the installation and deployment of Kafka to make it much
more standard.
I noticed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1324 [~jkreps] closed
the issue because other sources provide packaging. I think it's worthwhile for
the standard, open source project to provide this as a base to reduce redundant
work and provide this functionality for users. Other similar open source
software like Elasticsearch create an RPM
[https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/0ad3d90a36529bf369813ea6253f305e11aff2e9/distribution/packages/build.gradle].
This also makes forking internally more maintainable by reducing the amount
of work to be done for each version upgrade.
I have a patch to add this functionality that I will clean up and PR on Github.
