Both package types, RPM and deb now contain an option to not restart on upgrade.
This option can be configure in /etc/default/elasticsearch for dpkg based systems
and /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch for rpm based systems.
By default the setting is as before, where a restart is executed on upgrade.
Closes#3685
By making use of the lsb provided functions, one does not depend on the start-stop daemon version to test if elasticsearch is running.
This ensures, that the init script works on debian wheezy, squeeze, current ubuntu and LTS versions.
Closes#3452
This decision helps people who want to rollout the oracle java without having an openjdk java installed.
* Removed any hard dependency on Java in the debian package
* The debian init script does not check for an existing JAVA_HOME anymore
* Debian and RedHat initscripts now exit if they do not find a java binary (instead of starting elasticsearch in the background and swallowing the error as there is no way to log it in that case)
* Changed the debian init script to rely on the pid file instead of the argument name of process
* Added a useful error message in case no java binary is available (in elasticsearch shell script)
Closes#3304Closes#3311
According to #2515 the ubuntu software center does not allow to install
debian packages which are not lintian compatible
I worked on the package and made it lintian compatible by doing
* Ignoring errors about arch dependent binaries as we will not split
this package. The arch dependent libraries are used correctly.
* Added a copyright file pointing to the apache license in debian
Closes#2515Closes#2320
Since people are using the Oracle JAVA distribution and not the OpenJDK.
You can suggest it of course. Now the installation will at least continue.
If the init script is called, it will exit with a useful error message, that
no JDK is available via the JAVA_HOME variable.
* RPM: Use the ES_USER variable to set the user (same name as in the debian package
now), while retaining backwards compatibility to existing /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch
* RPM: Bugfix: Remove the user when uninstalling the package
* RPM: Set an existing homedir when adding the user (allows one to run cronjobs as this user)
* DEB & RPM: Unify Required-Start/Required-Stop fields in initscripts
* added "linc6" as a package dependency as it's required for file
lib/sigar/libsigar-amd64-linux.so and lib/sigar/libsigar-x86-linux.so

library and other packages - the shlibs system) for details.
