We'd like to appeal to you, the Cassandra Community, to help us = test and maintain these packages going forward. Hopefully, the effort to = do so will be minimal. The only delta we're maintaining there is to = include the jar files needed to repeat the build in the source package. = Our hope is that somebody involved with deploying and running Cassandra = would like to help us maintain these packages, and so would be added to = the "cassandra-ubuntu" team, which has upload rights directly to the = PPA. This is outside the normal releases and archives of Ubuntu. These aren't = really going to be supported like the rest of Ubuntu. Its provided = mostly as a convenience experiment to make it easier for Ubuntu users to = utilize projects like Cassandra that move quickly. With this PPA, the = hope is that we can provide a smooth upgrade path for users on older = releases of Ubuntu without subjecting the package to our usual stringent = requirements.=20 We have also considered making a 'dailybuild' PPA so that users can add = that and run the latest build, which we've found with other projects = helps with confirming bug reports. If you'd like to try it out, follow the instructions linked to here: https://launchpad.net/~cassandra-ubuntu/+archive/stable As that should help users find these packages quickly. If anybody has feedback please feel free to contact me directly and/or = file bugs against the cassandra-packages project. Thanks! -- Clint Byrum Ubuntu Server Team=
