What problem was encountered?

No standardised way to install this other than download URLs on this repo.

Most major Microsoft projects seem to have a regular release process via a package manager that lets me:

  • check for updates automatically and lets me report on them
  • have a secure, signed download process
  • reliable install and auditing of components across different machines/OSes rather than requiring a custom script

How can we reproduce the problem in the simplest way?

N/A

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

Other Microsoft mature projects like this offer regular packaged, signed releases, for example the Azure CLI, Powershell:

Distribution via package managers is something that I believe we're planning on doing at a future date. When, we're not entirely certain about, however.

@adreed-msft For our usecase, a pure http download, as today is fine. However, it would be great if the executable itself could be immediately available (not inside a zip file), to avoid this brittle piece of code:

curl --silent --location https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy-v10-linux
| sudo tar xvz --wildcards --file - --strip-components 1 --directory /usr/local/bin "*/azcopy"

(It's one long line of code, broken into two for readability).

To me, this would be happiness:

curl --silent --location https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy-v10-linux-bin --output /usr/local/bin/azcopy

@adreed-msft Any chance of this being revisited soon? Seems strange that the azcli is available as a proper package but azcopy is not.

We now support distribution through package manager for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Ubuntu, Mariner, Debian, SUSE, Rocky and CentOS.
