Provide a public debian repository

[ghost]

Hi guys.
First of all Thanks for your work.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No and Yes.

I can install Corretto on a Debian distribution manually but I have to reproduce the steps each time a new version will be release.

Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK).

What about automatic updates (during internal patch parties)?

Describe a solution you would like

Please, give us a mirror or a public debian repository we could add to our sources list files for a real use in production.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Do it manually for each new version as explained here

@jherault Thanks for the feedback. Solving the problem of auto-updates for Corretto users is one of the high-priority items we are looking at next in our roadmap. This issue is similar to #29 but keeping separate for now.

[Voronenko]

any update?

[davecurrie]

This is on the roadmap and we hope to be able to share more news soon.

reprepro is a very nice tool for such tasks. See https://gist.github.com/stbuehler/e3e28732a6244acb47f8bd45e7e3db24 how you can host such repo until it gets provided by upstream.

[Voronenko]

@stbuehler that's ok tactically for team scope, but would be cool to have official signed repo, so it can be used in production grade deployments

[stbuehler]

@Voronenko I'm not against upstream providing a proper repo in the first place :) (Although I like the part in my setup about having an archive with older versions.)
I do disagree with your "production grade" remark though.

I also hope that my script might help solving this upstream too (by showing how easy to use reprepro is).

We are happy to inform you that the new channels for installation including Apt Repositories are now available for use. Please refer to the launch blog post for additional information.

Thanks a lot, both debian and centos pass with packages! https://travis-ci.com/softasap/sa-java-corretto

If you have time for 2020, can you consider officially supporting choco java corretto installer for windows ? https://chocolatey.org/

it is now standard de-facto for windows environments as well.

Thanks, these are very good news!

I personally prefer to not add 3rd-party keys to the global list; the deb822-style format (.sources instead of .list extension) allows individual keys per repository like this:

mkdir -p /etc/apt/single-keys
wget -O/etc/apt/single-keys/corretto.key https://apt.corretto.aws/corretto.key
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/corretto.sources <<EOF
Types: deb
URIs: https://apt.corretto.aws
Suites: stable
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/single-keys/corretto.key
EOF
