Policy on 3.11.0 packages...

[Russell Bateman <ru...@windofkeltia.com>]

We maintain a custom-index plug-in that we haven't ported to 3.11.1 
which is a non-zero effort. (Stratio's Lucene plug-in is in the same 
boat here.)

I would like to inquire as to the non-availability of Debian and RPM 
packages for Cassandra 3.11.0 now that 3.11.1 is the latest. What's the 
thinking on this? Why does package support move on so quickly without 
back-support for most recent, stable version, etc?

Thanks,

Russ

Ah, thanks, this will do, I think.

Old packages are always in the deb repo pool, but reprepro-built
metadata lists only the latest with apt. `wget` and `dpkg` are your
friends here. RPM should "just work" for old packages, I think.

3.11.0 is still fetchable and installable:
(bintray redirect on deb repo)
http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian/pool/main/c/cassandra/
http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/redhat/311x/

Full release archives for every release ever - drill down under debian
and redhat directories:
http://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/
