# Erlang/OTP packages for Debian and Ubuntu

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

This work is based on the [official Erlang/OTP package for Debian](https://salsa.debian.org/erlang-team/packages/erlang).
The RabbitMQ team adapted the upstream package to produce packages for more/different
combinations of Erlang/OTP, Debian and Ubuntu releases.

Unlike Team RabbitMQ's [zero dependency Erlang/OTP RPM](https://github.com/rabbitmq/erlang-rpm), these packages
are not monolithic and use the same dependency tree as the official Debian packages of Erlang.

## Supported Erlang/OTP and Debian/Ubuntu Combinations

Packages are published to several Launchpad PPAs:

* [`~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-27`](https://launchpad.net/~rabbitmq/+archive/ubuntu/rabbitmq-erlang-27) (27.x)
 * [`~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-26`](https://launchpad.net/~rabbitmq/+archive/ubuntu/rabbitmq-erlang-26) (26.x)
 * [`~rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang-25`](https://launchpad.net/~rabbitmq/+archive/ubuntu/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 the [RabbitMQ Erlang requirement matrix](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/which-erlang):

* 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.

## Apt Repository Setup

### Launchpad PPA

Ubuntu users can consume these packages from an [Ubuntu Launchpad PPA](https://launchpad.net/~rabbitmq):

Launchpad provides both `amd64` and `arm64` builds but only the latest published version
(older releases are not available).

### Community Mirror of Cloudsmith

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

``` shell
#!/bin/sh

sudo apt-get install curl gnupg apt-transport-https -y

## Differences from the Official Debian Packages

### Provided Erlang/OTP Versions

The main difference is the provided versions:

*   The official Debian repository provides a single Erlang/OTP minor
    release for a given Debian distribution and this is frozen when the
    distribution is released. The package only receives bug fixes.

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

### Supported architectures

Another difference is the supported architectures: this repository
produces `amd64` packages plus Launchpad builds an `arm64` version
whereas Debian and Ubuntu provides packages for many more architectures.

## How the Packages are Produced

Packages are produced using a GitHub Actions [workflow that is publicly available](https://github.com/rabbitmq/erlang-packages/).

The packages produced from this source repository are then 
published to external packaging services such as [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/~rabbitmq) and Cloudsmith,
and then to [Cloudsmith mirrors](https://rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#apt-cloudsmith).

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

## Copyright and License

Released under the [Apache Software License 2.0](https://github.com/rabbitmq/erlang-rpm-packaging/blob/master/Erlang_ASL2_LICENSE.txt),
same as Erlang/OTP starting with 18.0.
