DATASTAX COMMUNITY DEBIAN REPOSITORY ADVISORY - August 6, 2015

[Michael Shuler <mi...@pbandjelly.org>]

I'm passing this along from the DataStax Support folks.

This shouldn't affect new installs, since the install instruction will 
pull the new expiry, but for users that already have a DSC/DSE Debian 
repository configured, apt-get update/install will warn about the 
expired key after 8/13.

curl -L http://debian.datastax.com/debian/repo_key | sudo apt-key add -

I just tested out updating the key I have in apt-key with the curl 
command below, and update/install seems to work just fine.

Shout if you have any trouble!

Kind regards,
Michael
