This repository contains release automation files for Debian and Ubuntu packages of Erlang/OTP. It ismaintained by the RabbitMQ team.

This work is based on theofficial Erlang/OTP package for Debian.The RabbitMQ team adapted the upstream package to produce packages for more/differentcombinations of Erlang/OTP, Debian and Ubuntu releases.

Unlike Team RabbitMQ'szero dependency Erlang/OTP RPM, these packagesare not monolithic and use the same dependency tree as the official Debian packages of Erlang.

Packages are published to several Launchpad PPAs:

• ~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-27 (27.x)
• ~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-26 (26.x)
• ~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-25 (25.3.x)

as well a Cloudsmith.io mirror (see below).

The following distributions are currently covered by at least one (e.g. Erlang 26.x)release series of this package, corresponding to theRabbitMQ Erlang requirement matrix:

• Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)
• Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)
• Debian Bookworm
• Debian Bullseye

For each distribution, the following release series of Erlang/OTP can be produced:

• 27.x
• 26.x
• 25.3.x

For every release series, only the latest minor series is supported.

Ubuntu users can consume these packages from anUbuntu Launchpad PPA:

• ~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-27 (27.x)
• ~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-26 (26.x)
• ~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-25 (25.3.x)

Launchpad provides bothamd64 andarm64 builds but only the latest published version(older releases are not available).

RabbitMQ Cloudsmith.io repository has a monthly traffic quota.As such, we recommend that a community mirror of that repositoryis used instead.

The main difference is the provided versions:

• The official Debian repository provides a single Erlang/OTP minorrelease for a given Debian distribution and this is frozen when thedistribution is released. The package only receives bug fixes.

• Our repository provides many Erlang/OTP major releases for manydistributions, taking the latest minor+patch release. It alsoprovides a preview of the next in-development release branch ofErlang/OTP.

Another difference is the supported architectures: this repositoryproducesamd64 packages plus Launchpad builds anarm64 versionwhereas Debian and Ubuntu provides packages for many more architectures.

Packages are produced using a GitHub Actionsworkflow that is publicly available.

The packages produced from this source repository are thenpublished to external packaging services such asLaunchpad and Cloudsmith,and then toCloudsmith mirrors.

When a new patch release is tagged in the Erlang/OTP repository, it isautomatically picked up by the pipeline. Then the package changelogis updated and a new package is built, tested and published to Bintray.
