Hello Elasticsearch Community,

We're experiencing issues syncing Elasticsearch packages from the official repository and have discovered that the repository URL structure has changed

**Problem:**  
Our mirrors server is configured to sync from these URLs:  
`// ``https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum`  
`// ``https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/yum`  
`// ``https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/9.x/yum`

However, all syncs are now failing with timeout and 404 errors.

**Investigation Findings:**

1. **Old URLs return 404:** When testing the **`/packages/x.x/yum/`** paths, we receive HTTP 404 Not Found errors

2. **Domain redirects:**  **`artifacts.elastic.co`** now redirects to **`https://www.elastic.co/downloads/`**

3. **Repository structure changed:** The old path structure **`/packages/7.x/yum/`** , **`/packages/8.x/yum/`** , **`/packages/9.x/yum/`** no longer exists

**New URL discovered:** Testing revealed that packages are now available at:  
// [Download and provision Elastic Products | Elastic](https://elastic.co/downloads/)

**Impact:**

Any systems or mirrors using the old repository URLs will:

- Fail to download packages

- Be unable to install or update Elasticsearch

- Break package management workflows

**Questions:**

1. Can Elastic provide official documentation on the repository URL migration?

2. When did this change take effect?

3. Are there any official migration guides for users with custom mirrors?

4. Should the new baseurl be: **`https://elastic.co/downloads/`**?
