Packaging: Past versions of packages are deleted from APT repositories.

See original GitHub issue

We automate Crate installation via the use of Debian packages. I would like to be able to pin the version number and be able to provision systems using the same package version and then upgrade when we are ready.

Currently it seems that only the most recent version is being kept in e.g. https://cdn.crate.io/downloads/deb/stable/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/

Would it be possible to keep old releases available so that one could for example apt-get install crate=2.1.7

Thanks!
