Package Repository Updates

Team RabbitMQ has two updates related to our Debian and RPM repositories:

  1. On August 18, 2024, Team RabbitMQ's PackageCloud account will be discontinued
  2. Cloudsmith mirror repositories now use *.rabbitmq.com domains, please update your repository definition files

Mirrors Now Use *.rabbitmq.com Domains​

The docs were updated to use *.rabbitmq.com for mirror subdomains, please update your repository files. The previously used domain names won't go away, however, this migration would make your setup more future-proof for large infrastructure changes our team expects to happen in the rest of 2024.

See Debian and RPM installation guides.

PackageCloud Will Be Discontinued on Aug 18th, 2024​

PackageCloud, a great package distribution service we've been using since 2016 IIRC, will be discontinued on Aug 18, 2024. This means that our PackageCloud repositories will become unavailable shortly after.

Please move to the mirrors used in Debian and RPM installation guides as soon as possible!

On behalf of the RabbitMQ Core Team I would like to thank the PackageCloud team for providing us with a solid service over the last eight years, during which we only have experienced one minor outage.

This migration has nothing to do with the quality of the service but rather reflects the fact that the core team is in a different corporate environment today compared to 2016-2023, plus we now have our own mirrors for backup.
