             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.
