Re: [DISCUSS] Support Ubuntu Installs in the MPack

It would almost seem like this is a contrib or incubating effort then no? You didn’t have to write that Ubuntu guide for nothing. Maybe we should be more explicit in that way with regards to support. When we have it fully supported it can ‘graduate’ to the main metron-deployment. On December 15

Re: [DISCUSS] Support Ubuntu Installs in the MPack

Yeah, I definitely agree with folding testing Ubuntu into an RC. It would be nice if we could fold that testing into a schedule, e.g. weekly, to avoid unpleasant surprises at RC time. Not really sure what the best way to go about that would be. I think a Jira on the testing topic is a good idea.

Re: [DISCUSS] Support Ubuntu Installs in the MPack

Nick is right that the ASF does not provide support in an explicit way (i.e. there are no pathways to get *prioritized* support via SLAs, etc.), but it is expected that apache projects provide support via mailing lists and answered by volunteers. Specifically, this is the crux of the "community ov

Re: [DISCUSS] Support Ubuntu Installs in the MPack

That sounds good, Justin. It's a completely valid point. I just wasn't sure how far we needed to take it. Is there anything I can do in my current open PRs to address this concern? * https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/868 * https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/869 Another alternative would

Re: [DISCUSS] Support Ubuntu Installs in the MPack

By 'direct support" I just meant that it becomes an installation target we semi-actively maintain a specific installation method for. Right now we don't need to communicate that all because we don't provide anything other RPMs. The cutoff is implicit: There's convenience RPMs you can build, or yo

Re: [DISCUSS] Support Ubuntu Installs in the MPack

If we start adding direct support for systems other than CentOS (which I'm in favor of), I suggest we make sure to very explicitly document what the level of support, testing, etc. for everything is. If we're not requiring everything to be tested against Ubuntu, we should make sure to document exa

[DISCUSS] Support Ubuntu Installs in the MPack

I've done some work to get the MPack working on Ubuntu. I'd like to get that work packaged up and contributed back to Apache. I think it would be genuinly useful to the community. Here is how I was thinking about tackling that through a series of PRs. 1. Create the DEBs necessary for installing
