-------------------------------------
Summary: revert Python build scripts from branch-trunk-win
Key: HADOOP-9271
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9271
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build
Affects Versions: trunk-win
Reporter: Chris Nauroth
Assignee: Chris Nauroth
On branch-trunk-win, some work was committed to convert custom build scripting
to Python as a cross-platform solution to support builds on both Linux and
Windows. The community has since rejected this solution. This issue tracks
removal of the Python build code from branch-trunk-win.
This will restore branch-trunk-win to the same state as trunk, which uses shell
for custom build scripting. This means that developers working on
branch-trunk-win will once again need sh.exe on the PATH to build the
distribution. This will be a temporary state. A subsequent jira will add
build scripts specific to Windows, using a language more common in a Windows
development environment. The community has approved minimal use of multiple
platform-specific scripting languages.
