Can not build marathon-1.5

[timp87]

Hello. I've followed the instruction described in README.md of this repository. I've managed to build latest marathon-1.4.11, but I'm unable to build marathon-1.5.5. Looks like Makefile has inappropriate for 1.5.5 steps relying on assembly which is not used in marathon 1.5.5.

Looks like this git repo is abandoned. But it helped me anyway. Also official marathon repo stopped providing packages for new versions so I built it manually.

This was done on CentOS 7.2

You need a machine with at least 8GB of RAM.

Add SBT repo like described here http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Installing-sbt-on-Linux.html

[root@localhost ~]# curl https://bintray.com/sbt/rpm/rpm | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/bintray-sbt-rpm.repo

Install all needed packages like described in thisrepository:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel git ruby ruby-devel rpm-build sbt

Install additional packages to build ruby gems

[root@localhost ~]# yum install libffi libffi-devel gcc

Install FPM ruby gem

[root@localhost ~]# gem install fpm

Clone official marathon git repo

[root@localhost ~]# git clone https://github.com/mesosphere/marathon.git

Got to the git root dir

[root@localhost ~]# cd marathon/

Check out needed git tag (marathon release version)

[root@localhost marathon]# git checkout v1.5.5

Build packages

[root@localhost marathon]# sbt packageLinux

Here are various rpm and deb packages for SysV and SystemD based distros

[root@localhost marathon]# ls -1 target/packages/
systemd-marathon-1.5.5-1.noarch.rpm
systemd-marathon_1.5.5_all.deb
systemv-marathon-1.5.5-1.noarch.rpm
systemv-marathon_1.5.5_all.deb
upstart-marathon_1.5.5_all.deb

Something like this should be documented in official marathon documentation.
