The repository contains so called DEBIAN directory containing the scripts and configs files needed to package the Apache Kafka server into a DEB package for the Debian Jessie distro.
Waiting for a debian mantainer to adopt this package, this repository will rely on the original binary distribution of Kafka and later versions.
Using this repository, you will be able to have an Apache Kafka debian package fully working for easy deploys into your clusters.
- Simply run the following script included in the repository
deb-automate-build.sh
After the build is completed, it's as simple as:
dpkg -i ../kafka_*_all.deb
(replace the proper .deb file as the version may have changed)
