After struggling off and on with several projects' mostly Maven-based build systems (and our tool support for Maven), I have finally gotten ElasticSearch 1.0.0 RC1 to build on a Debian/unstable box without network connectivity. The dependencies used to build the package have been provided through individual locally built Debian packages.
I do not feel comfortable with uploading the dozen-or-so packages to unstable right away because the quality of those packages is not up to my standards and I do not really want to maintain them myself. I am no Java developer and I have found out just enough about Maven and maven-*-helper to be able to cause some damage using copy&paste techniques. (I have, however, come to form strong opinions about software library models that are based upon eternal availability of unmaintained, buggy versions rather than a desire to provide stable APIs/ABIs. But I digress.) So, I need some help. As a first step, I am going to document the various required dependencies in the form of RFP bugs that are going to be linked to this bug (#660826: RFP Elasticsearch) and I will try to make my efforts available through git repositories as a possible starting point for whoever wants to pick up from there. The following packages that are not yet in Debian were needed: - Apache Lucene 4.6 (lucene3 which is available is not enough.) - A newer netty (3.9.0.Final is wanted, we have 3.2.6.Final in unstable.) - spatial4j - compress-lzf 0.9.6 (API breakage with a class becoming abstract after that. WTF?) - hyperic-sigar - carrotsearch-hppc - icu4j-49 (Not sure if the exact "major" version is needed or if it's possible to just go the current fifty-something version instead.)
