Describe the bug

the link to the public CI is dead for me and I don't know where to look at the public pipeline:

https://ci.rabbitmq.com/teams/main/pipelines/erlang-debian-package

seems there is no dns entry for ci.rabbitmq.com

Thanks!

Reproduction steps

open Readme
click link
no result ...

Expected behavior

link should work

Additional context

there seems to be neither an A, AAAA or CNAME Record for ci.rabbitmq.com

see: https://dnschecker.org/#A/ci.rabbitmq.com

We do not plan on making the pipeline public again.

michaelklishin commented 11 months ago

The README was updated to link to our Cloudsmith mirror and Launchpad. Those who want full control over how the packages are produced are welcome to take this source package and build your own .debs on any supported distribution, then publish to an apt repository of your choice.

Using Launchpad can be a middle ground between having full control and having a very widely know mature service that you likely can trust.

Perhaps it should be mentioned that there isn't anything unusual about how this package is built. You need:

A supported distribution
To check out the correct version/distribution branch
Follow the standard Debian build practices

All the build time dependencies should be installed by Debian helpers. Our pipelines only really handle the inputs (this repo changes, upstream Erlang/OTP tags) and publishing to services such as Launchpad and Cloudsmith. That's about it, they are hardly of much value to the public.
