Apache Kafka package status
Apache Kafka is a distributed publish-subscribe messaging system persistent oriented with O(1) disk structures that provide constant time performance even with many TB of stored messages.
Apache Kafka is based on Scala language. Scala uses sbt (Simple Build Tool) for builds, it's the de facto build tool for the Scala community. Sbt is similar to Apache Ant, and uses Apache Ivy (a sub-project of the Apache Ant project) for resolving project dependencies.
We have two methods for scala based project RPM building:
- Building packages with sbt and the climbing-nemesis script (a tool to make a temporary Ivy repository from installed Fedora packages)
SIGs/bigdata/packaging/Sbt sbt is in Fedora 20 Example of climbing-nemsis usage
- Building packages with sbt and xmvn’s Ivy resolution support
Making Fedora a better place for Scala improved Fedora support for Ivy SIGs/bigdata/packaging/Scala Changes/ImprovedScalaEcosystem Changes/ImprovedIvyPackaging
Package status
The package doesn't build, mainly because Scala project based on sbt are broken in Fedora23-rawhide, the pending bugs here:
Removing depmap support in Fedora 23 (status: should fixed)
sbt: FTBFS in rawhide (status: fixed)
sbt: broken hawtjni-runtime-1.8.jar symlink (status: fixed)
