Hello, I'm quite new to packing up packages for Fedora. It might not be the simplest package to create, but I quite like hadoop and wanted to package it up, so it's easier to maintain on Fedora based boxes. There are a couple of issues I ran into: - Can I explicitly require a java package not just to be installed, but also to be the the selected alternative? (openjdk ist required at build- and runtime) - Where to put those jars? I'm suggesting /usr/share/java - What about missing dependencies? There are some jars required which are not packed up in Fedora yet. I'm not allowed to use the binary-jars distributed in the hadoop tarball? - Scripts There are scripts to run hadoop and dfs (bin/start-all, stop-all, ...) Where shall I put them? Create a custom user, as postgres does? Maybe someone can share experience to solve this issues .. - fabian -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
