Debian mirror is blocked

I recently filed a bug [1] about broken mirrors and debian repo for Cassandra. The mirror issue has been resolved, but there is still an issue with the Debian repo that is unresolved. The Infra team has blocked the debian repo because it was causing in excess of 600,000 requests/day.

The Debian packaging page [2] includes instructions on using the ASF repositories, which is what has been blocked. The ASF repo is listed predominantly on the page, even though it’s listed as an alternate to using the DataStax repo. 

What’s not entirely clear about the DataStax repo is if the packages its hosting are the same as the ones made available by the Cassandra team.

I stumbled across this while working on the Juju charm [3] that manages cloud deployments of Cassandra.

So the issues right now are that:
1) The Debian repo hosted on ASF is currently blocked
2) It’s unclear if the ASF or DataStax repo is authoritative
3) Upstream projects that depend on the ASF repo are currently broke.

INFRA-8585 has been updated.

TL;DR The repository should be working (it is working for me), so keep us
in the loop if you continue to have problems.

Long term we need to find an alternative to hosting on www, but for the
meantime, INFRA is not supposed to be blocking access.

Cheers,

Interesting, I can see from the issue that INFRA claims to have blocked it,
but I am able to access it fine.  The source package for 2.1.2 is broken
at the moment (the orig.tar.gz 404s), but that's not because it's blocked.

Yes, the canonical download location for all ASF projects is supposed to
be from ASF resources.

I'm not sure, I assume at the very least that it's a different build to
that produced by the Cassandra Release Manager.  Either way, you shouldn't
consider it the Official Apache Cassandra Download(tm).

Sorry, we'll get it sorted out.  Thanks for the heads up!
