Moving Cassandra's Debian repository from dist to bintray.com/apache
Hi Cassandra team - So as you're probably aware, the Cassandra Debian packages currently on dist need to be moved off there. The Infra team has been working on a solution for that - we've got an organization for ASF on bintray.com, which can store and serve Debian repositories. We'd like to work with you all on moving the existing packages over to bintray, and figuring out what needs to be done to get a working process for you to post new Debian packages going forward. Could someone from Cassandra (or some set of someones) be available to work with us on this? Thanks! A.
Re: Moving Cassandra's Debian repository from dist to bintray.com/apache
Great! So to start, can you give us a sense of what your needs for the repo are? What are you putting in it? Are you splitting it up by distro at all or just putting new versions of Cassandra in each time? A.

See https://bintray.com/docs/api/#_debian_upload for how to upload/sign artifacts with the Bintray API. Your release managers will need to get accounts on Bintray and then open INFRA tickets to get added to the Cassandra team in the Apache org there, at which point you'll have full admin rights over the cassandra repo there. If you want to start playing with it, go ahead and create an account and let me know the username so I can invite/add you. reprepro isn't relevant here - the Bintray Debian repos don't support the full range of reprepro's functionality by a long shot, but for what you're doing, I don't think you need anything that's not available through the Bintray API. Alternatively, if that turns out to not work for you, you can use a generic repo that allows you to just upload files/directories, so you could keep doing what you're doing now but upload to Bintray rather than dist. Others on the Infra team will know for sure, but I'm pretty confident that a redirect from dist to bintray is feasible. A.

I'm investigating this now - will update when I have more information. A.

Re: Moving Cassandra's Debian repository from dist to bintray.com/apache
Sorry for not emailing - JFrog is investigating the work involved in getting users able to sign organization Debian repository metadata. I'll ping them for an update. A.
