Description

Sometimes we need standardized install packages. The distribution module does almost all of the work necessary for this so it is a piece of cake to finish the job. The debian packages in particular can be generated in a portable fashion thanks to jdeb.

I will track this work in the debian-package branch of https://github.com/tdunning/mahout

Comments are very welcome.
