Future linux packages repositories

[vveider]

Hi, all!


As you possibly noticed — an initiative was risen about packaging Apache Ignite into RPM and DEB package for purposes of project distribution through, including, 3rd party and official Linux repositories.
While the job of packages' introducing is still in progress, I think it is time also to rise a discussion about where should we place and how to distribute these packages.

At first sight the Apache Software Foundation Distribution Directory [1] suites these needs (for the first iteration of packages allocation) perfectly.

What do you think about starting an integration with it?

Petr, what debs and rpms can I currently download using apache.org/dist?
Please provide examples. I also think you should mostly work with mirrors.
Correct?

Hi, Yakov


 - Hadoop [1]
 - Cassandra [2] [3]
 And possibly more.

Also as far as I know - getting to Apache Dist Archive have to mean getting into mirrors as well (as mirrors synchronising with all or part of whole archive)

Thanks for update, Petr. I like the solution. I think we can go ahead.

Totally for hosting the packages on ASF infrastructure.

Petr if anything is required from the ASF side please file tickets and inquiries to INFRA using JIRA. Let me know if my assistance is needed.

Denis, Yakov, thanks for feedback!


As far as I understand the process of uploading our current binary archives to apache.org/dist, we just have to prepare corresponding debian / rhel repositories directory structure and upload it as well as binaries (and add new instructions to documentation).
So, I guess, I’ll push with packages to be able to introduce full debian / rhel delivery to the nearest release.
