Bug#760315: ITP: mesos -- Cluster manager for sharing distributed application frameworks



Hi Daniel,

It is great to see that you are working on packaging Mesos. For some time 
already I was also fiddling with its packaging but was (and still) reluctant 
to take over the RFS... It seems that Mesos have systematic issues with 
versioning of the libraries from "libmesos" all the way down to "libprocess" 
and "libgmock". Because of this it might be best to refrain from packaging 
standalone "libprocess" and use its bundled copy (statically linked or 
installed to private location) until this problem is fixed upstream.

My Mesos packaging is in very early draft stage but I might be able to 
contribute few things if you consider working in public repository (i.e. at 
collab-maint, etc.).

Also due to burden of bundled upstream dependencies I recommend to use 
shallow ("debian/*" only) repository layout like the one that KDE team uses:

    https://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/gitguidelines.html

Thank you.

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate,
contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and
unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the
discomfort of thought.
