Hi guys, I didn't know Kibana offers it's own repo/RPM package, so I made my own specfile, unit file, and complete RPM. Now, after I found out you guys also offer complete rpm, I did a little comparison and I think I have a better solution. My spec file: - fully FHS compatible - config goes in /etc/kibana, node in /usr/share, ... - better systemd service I would like to contribute, but I don't see a SPEC file in kibana git repo, so I was wondering how are you guys building these packages and where can I share my spec file to help the community to improve the way kibana is shipped on rpm based distros? thanks ---

Kibana uses [fpm](https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm) to build RPM and Debian packages. See [tasks/build/osPackages.js](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/tasks/build/osPackages.js). ---
