Description

After merge https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-2243 patch, we need to pass -Pall to the build.
Refer command:
mvn -DskipTests=true clean compile package install assembly:assembly -Pall

If use the following command would cause failue:
mvn -DskipTests=true clean compile package install assembly:assembly
 

 OS name: "linux", version: "2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
 [INFO] Reactor Summary:
 [INFO]
 [INFO] ranger ............................................. SKIPPED
 [INFO] Unix Native Authenticator .......................... SKIPPED
 [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [INFO] BUILD FAILURE
 [ERROR] Could not find goal 'assembly' in plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.0.0 among available goals help, single -> [Help 1]

Use the following command to find default profile,
we can see the profile "linux" is active:

 mvn help:active-profiles -N
 Active Profiles for Project 'org.apache.ranger:ranger:pom:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT':
 The following profiles are active:
 - env-settings (source: external)
 - env-unix (source: external)
 - linux (source: org.apache.ranger:ranger:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT)

Which we expect the default profile "all" to be active.

Refer to the Maven issue:
Profile not active even though it has activeByDefault set to true
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-4917

And from Introduction to Build Profiles:
 This profile will automatically be active for all builds unless another profile in the same pom is activated using one of the previously described methods. All profiles that are active by default are automatically deactivated when a profile in the pom is activated on the command line or through its activation config.

In short, the profile "linux" disables "all" when ranger build without specifying the profile id.

To make the profile "all" to be active by default,
we should remove the property "activation" of profile "linux".
In fact, the property "activation" of profile "linux" make no sense,
just prompt us to compile under linux os,
and it should not be activated automatically instead of "all".
It should be activated by specifying the profile id:
mvn -DskipTests=true clean compile package install assembly:assembly -Plinux
