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. > The Debian packaging page [2] includes instructions on using the ASF > repositories, which is what has been blocked.

I'm not sure, I assume at the very least that it's a different build to that produced by the Cassandra Release Manager.

Sorry, we'll get it sorted out. Thanks for the heads up! -- Eric Evans eev...@sym-link.com
