----------------------------------------------
Summary: Move deb/rpm repositories from dist/downloads .a.o to
apache.jfrog.io
Key: CASSANDRA-17748
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17748
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Task
Components: Packaging
Reporter: Michael Semb Wever
Assignee: Michael Semb Wever
Move our official debian and redhat repositories from downloads.apache.org to
Apache's JFrog Artifactory server at apache.jfrog.io
That is, the following URLs would be moved from
```
https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian/
https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/redhat/
```
to
```
https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/cassandra-deb/
https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/cassandra-rpm/
```
The rationale to do this is to avoid the strict opinionated checksum and
signature requirements on downloads.a.o (same as dist.a.o), as the debian and
redhat repositories have their own system for integrity and signing (which we
already do).
Furthermore, as these repositories and their binaries are "convenience
binaries" and not the official Cassandra source binaries, they do not need to
be on downloads.a.o and can be served from apache.jfrog.io. This is similar to
maven binaries (and docker images).
This will BREAK everyone's existing
`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list` and
`/etc/yum.repos.d/cassandra.repo` files. Folk will need to update these files
to point to the new repo URLs. This would require an announcement to both
users@ and dev@. I do not know how we can avoid this breakage. We could put in
a simple README.md in the original URL locations explaining the breakage and
how to fix.
