Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-18249:
----------------------------------------------
I'm starting to think this is more trouble than it's worth since we're already
using docker, and also all the signing needs access to creds that won't be
there without mounting the home directory. However...
bq. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS doesn't have createrepo availabl
In making this work with my existing (working) setup, I realized that I too was
not using createrepo. What happened was createrepo was
[removed|https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=936341] due to being
python2, and instead [createrepo_c was
added|https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912338], and I have
'createrepo' aliased to that so the prepare_release.sh script would work.
Maybe we should simply update the scripts to use createrepo_c?
