Adds an explicit description the RPM package so it doesn't inherit the description from the POM.
Closes#12550
Also, modified descriptions for deb and rpm packages to be the same and to reference the documentation rather than listing features that are out of date.
When installed as a service with a DEB or RPM package, we should gently wait for elasticsearch to stop (flushing indices on closing can take some time) and never kill the process.
Closes#11248
Elasticsearch will create this if it doesn't exist if it cant but because
it doesn't own /etc/elasticsearch when installed by rpm and deb it can't
create /etc/elasticsearch/scripts.
Closes#12702
As the script now deploys to S3 and several things in master have
changed, this script needs to reflect the latest changes
* An unsigned RPM is built by default, so that users of older
RPM based distros can download and use that RPM by default
* In addition a signed RPM is built, that is used for the repositories
* Paths for the new distributions have been fixed
* The check for the number of jars has been removed, as this is done
as part of the license checking in `mvn verify`
* Checksum generation has been removed, as this is done as part of the
mvn build
* Publishing artifacts of S3 has been removed
* Repostitory creation script has been updated
This change creates a proper `distribution` modules in which we have today packaging for
all of our four current packages:
* zip
* tar.gz
* rpm
* deb
Licenes have moved into the distribution project as well. So have the config/ and the bin/ directory
from the core/ project.
The RPM package is now built, if rpmbuild exists.
The bats tests have been moved as well.
Also the zip distribution now executes the REST integration tests.
