@wolfgangfengel @jsuchome @kkaempf @deadpoint <- is this you guys?

[prudhvigodithi]

[Triage] Infra team will add a section in https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build#making-a-release and PM team need to add a download link to the page https://github.com/opensearch-project/project-website

@stockholmux @krisfreedain

@wolfgangfengel @jsuchome @kkaempf @deadpoint Can you provide any pointers?

[kkaempf]

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here @dblock , @bbarani
https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build#making-a-release is about making a release, not about packaging for specific distributions.
https://github.com/opensearch-project/project-website has generic rpm package, also not targeting specific distributions.

If you know of a site that provides pointers to Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. where openSUSE is missing, then I'd be happy to see my efforts around security:logging/opensearch mentioned there.

@kkaempf I was thinking just a paragraph similar to https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build#releasing-for-freebsd to help with discoverability for distributions such as Debian and openSUSE. For the downloads, we have opensearch-project/opensearch-build#28 open for Debian, I think we need something new on the downloads page that targets specific distributions.

Understood. But this paragraph is about OSses in general (Linux, BSD, Windows, ...) and not about specific Linux distributions.
It would be interesting to hear what the opensearch-build maintainers have to say.

For the downloads, we have opensearch-project/opensearch-build#28 open for Debian, I think we need something new on the downloads page that targets specific distributions.

Yeah, that would be nice. However, opensearch-build has almost 2000 issues meanwhile and the maintainers haven't closed/fixed number 28 yet. 😞

I did make 200+ PRs in this repo if that's what you're asking :)

Your help would be much appreciated! We don't have to start with deb.

I think we would be "barking up the wrong tree" 😉

opensearch-build seems to be the wrong project. Imho, there should be a "RPM download" section in the main project's documentation with links to various distribution-specific artifacts.

[dblock]

I think I agree, care to open an issue in https://github.com/opensearch-project/documentation-website @kkaempf?

We still do want something here that says "people do something after every release for openSUSE", no?

[kkaempf]

Done 😉

We have documentation on RPM: https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/rpm/. Closing this issue.
