Debian package contains forbidden-apis signatures files in /usr/share/elasticsearch

[uschindler]

This is how the /usr/share/elasticsearch directory looks like:

root@host:/usr/share/elasticsearch# ls -l
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   77 Sep 29 13:41 all-signatures.txt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 29 18:10 bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4441 Sep 29 13:41 core-signatures.txt
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 29 18:10 lib
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  150 Sep 29 13:41 NOTICE.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8421 Sep 29 13:41 README.textile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Sep 29 13:41 test-signatures.txt
root@pangaea-mw1:/usr/share/elasticsearch#

The txt files are relicts caused by packaging *.txt into the debian file. There are two solutions:

• exclude those files explicit from packaging
• alternatively rename those files to something like *.sig and change pom.xml

I prefer the second variant. *.txt is stupid for signatures files. This was just copied from Lucene where they are in a separate subdirectory.

Low priority but probably worth it because it can't be that hard.

Thanks. Moving to dev-tools is also fine, somewhat like in lucene :-)

I also ported this to 1.3 and 1.4 branches
