Re: Bug#786460: ITP: kafka -- Distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service

[Brandon Bradley <bradleytastic@gmail.com>]

Hello Tim!

Indeed, I'm building the package using Scala 2.9.2 because that is currently packaged for Debian. Gradle wrapper is used instead of Gradle from Debian. I found it to be broken as well.

I have the repo for my work here until it goes elsewhere:

Hi Tony and Brandon.  It’s great to hear you are keen on doing some packaging!

I’m interested in Kafka as well, but didn’t want to take on another ridiculously large packaging project just yet, in addition to JRuby .  There’s been some recent packaging activity on Scala, but I think Gradle is currently broken or requiring a lot of work.
