How to package the cassandra source code into debian package?

I have the latest source code of Cassandra.

I have done some changes to the cassandra code to meet my needs.

Now I want to package this Cassandra into the debian package so that I can easily install it.

I do not have much knowledge about debian and all. Can anyone explain the step by step procedure for the same?

Solution

  • Assuming that you already have all the build dependencies, all you need to do is run this command from the Cassandra root directory:

    $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us

    It is strongly recommended that you build it with the OracleJDK instead of OpenJDK. There is a bug with certain versions of OpenJDK that will cause the build to fail.

    All of this information is available on the Cassandra Wiki.
