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.
