I have the feeling there was a ticket such as "let nodetool cleanup
give feedback on when/if the process ended" but I can't find it in
jira nor in the CHANGES.txt, though I seem to recall this was
scheduled for 0.6.3.

Is it just my imagination, and this ticket never existed, or was it
only for 0.7 ?

cleanup happens in compactionmanager, and gives feedback both there
and in the log.

maybe you were thinking of
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1090 which deals with
repair.

The vote passes with 6 binding +1 votes, (and no others).

I'll publish the artifacts.

Cassandra Ubuntu "PPA"

2010-06-29 Thread Clint Byrum
I'd like to get all of your opinion on the PPA that we've built to help 
Cassandra users on Ubuntu.

PPA stands for Personal Package Archive, and it is a system for building small 
apt repositories that users can easily add to their systems.

As Eric Evans noted on IRC today, most users will be fine just pointing at the 
apache repository and installing cassandra from there.

The only reason we've chosen to build a PPA is the continuously changing nature 
not only that Cassandra has, but Ubuntu as well. While we try to stay as close 
to Debian as possible, its entirely possible we'll break with Debian for a 
release, and we'd like to make sure our users are able to run and/or rebuild 
the latest packages on their systems. Likewise there may be other complementary 
packages like thrift that are not in apache's repository, that we can add to 
this one.

We're basically just taking the debian source packages you're already putting 
out, and rebuilding it on top of Ubuntu releases.

The focus of this is to help users reduce the amount of manual 
building/packaging/script writing they have need to do to get up and running 
and keep current. While we won't be able to offer the level of support that we 
do for packages in main, we're hoping that by staying as close as possible to 
your upstream releases we can help you support these users as well.

So, I hope you will find it useful to point Ubuntu users here:

https://launchpad.net/~cassandra-ubuntu/+archive/stable

I welcome your comments!
