Description
a.k.a. Enterprise Linux 9, the Red Hat/Rocky/AlmaLinux family of distributions.
https://packagecloud.io/citusdata/community only offers EL8 builds and below, it'd be nice if EL9 were offered as well; as-is EL8 and below binaries are provided.
On top of that, the GPG key used to sign https://packagecloud.io/citusdata/community uses a SHA-1 digest, which has been prohibited in EL9. It will probably become a problem in other distributions sooner or later. So you might have to talk to packagecloud about how to rotate into a new key without breaking your other package downloaders.
If you need an EL9 distribution on Azure, I suggest AlmaLinux: https://wiki.almalinux.org/cloud/Azure.html
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the EL8-and-below artifacts at the linked packagecloud community repository and the current GPG signing setup. Done means EL9 builds are offered and the signing key no longer relies on SHA-1, while existing package downloaders continue to work.
