i am looking for the rpm file of version 2.541.1 myself and cannot seem to find it anywhere.
not even as one of the assets here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/releases/tag/jenkins-2.541.1

I need to have an option to download this file directly since i'm using it in an air-gapped environment.

This seems similar to Issue:25913

Its now here: https://get.jenkins.io/rpm-stable/jenkins-2.541.1-1.noarch.rpm

(redhat has moved to rpm repo)

I think you should be able to find old versions here:
https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable-legacy/

cross-linking: jenkins-infra/helpdesk#4924

@timja - Should i change my proxy upstream from http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/ to http://pkg.jenkins.io/rpm-stable/ or is there a redirect on it?

• yes you should for the sake of making things clear, but there is a redirect. The changelog mentions the new endpoint: https://www.jenkins.io/changelog-stable/#v2.541.1
• However it seems we have not described properly the "legacy" endpoint, sorry. I'm opening a change request.

I've opened jenkins-infra/jenkins.io#8741. May I get your feedback as users to be sure I've updated in an understandable way?

The official binary distribution happens from https://get.jenkins.io/. I recommended you to use it to benefit from our network of download mirrors.

Looks like the GH release has been updated but we forgot to update the GHA which publishes the packages in it.

Just gave it a read. So redhat-stable-legacy is holding all releases prior to the currently latest, and the new repo, rpm-stable, will hold everything past 2.541.1?
