Hi,
has anyone already attempted to package Hypertable (
http://hypertable.com/community/source_code/) for Fedora/RedHat/CentOS?
Does anyone know whether there are current initiatives around it? Would
someone be interested in starting such a project?
Upstream already delivers RPM packages (
http://hypertable.com/download/0962/),
but I suspect some work is still needed to be compliant with the Fedora
packaging guidelines (e.g.,
http://hypertable.com/documentation/installation/quick_start_standalone/#...
).
Cheers
Denis
Quick look at [1] shows a lot of bundled libraries. We have some, but
notably we are missing zookeeper, hive, hadoop and libthrift. You'd
first have to package them and that might lead into a pretty deep rabbit
hole. I had a look at zookeeper only and it wasn't as bad as I expected
so who knows :-)
