Hi Brandon, Thank you very much for packaging Kafka. In addition to the debian-mentors and debian-java lists you may find some help on the #debian-java IRC channel.
I reviewed quickly the package, the main issue is the usage of the gradle wrapper. Since it downloads jars from the internet it can't be used for an official Debian package. The gradle package is being upgraded and we should have a more recent version soon. I hope this will solve the issues you encountered with the version 1.5. Not using the wrapper also means all the dependencies have to be packaged in Debian first. Assuming the tests are disabled Kafka requires: com.101tec:zkclient:0.3 not packaged com.typesafe.zinc:zinc:0.3.1 not packaged com.yammer.metrics:metrics-core:2.2.0 work in progress commons-logging:commons-logging:1.0.4 OK net.jpountz.lz4:lz4:1.2.0 not packaged net.sf.jopt-simple:jopt-simple:3.2 OK org.apache.avro:avro:1.4.0 OK org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core:0.20.2 not packaged org.apache.pig:pig:0.8.0 not packaged org.apache.pig:piggybank:0.12.0 not packaged org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper:3.4.6 OK org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-core-asl:1.5.5 OK org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl:1.5.5 OK org.scala-lang:scala-library OK org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.6 OK org.xerial.snappy:snappy-java:1.1.1.6 OK So the next step to get Kafka in Debian is to package the missing dependencies. Hadoop is on my radar and I'll probably package it since I need it for Solr. Emmanuel Bourg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
