“Scribe is a server for aggregating log data streamed in real time from a large number of servers. It is designed to be scalable, extensible without client-side modification, and robust to failure of the network or any specific machine. Scribe was developed at Facebook and released as open source.”
I’ve packaged Thrift, fb303 and Scribe for CentOS 5 / RHEL 5.
Scribe depends on fb303 which in turns depends on Thrift so you’ll need to setup a local repository and build them in that order. To build the above packages for Fedora 9+ you’ll need to tweak the Python sub-packages to include the egg files.
Both fb303 and Scribe need some tweaks upstream before they’re suitable for a package review, but I’d like to get them in Fedora shortly (I’ve already submitted Thrift).
If you’d like to hack around with my latest Fedora specs you can grab them here.
