Package: hadoop Severity: serious Tags: upstream Justification: Policy 42.42.42
Hadoop will release version 0.21 very soon and for me it doesn't make sense, to have a version of Hadoop in Debian Stable that's outdated from day one. The same applies for HBase, which depends on Hadoop. HBase is currently undergoing a major rewrite of its master server. Both projects have not yet released a 1.0 "stable" version and require advanced knowledge to be run in production at the moment. So we should not give the false impression that Hadoop or HBase are apt-get install ready for everybody. Those who want to use them on Squeeze should feel comfortable to use packages from testing and follow the development. The severity of this bug report is based on http://release.debian.org/lenny/rc_policy.txt "5. General (a) Supportable Packages in the archive must not be so buggy or out of date that we refuse to support them." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
