Visit git.icinga.com
and navigate to the respective pipeline under CI / CD -> Pipelines.
There click on the job you want to download packages from:
The job's output appears. On the right-hand sidebar you can browse its artifacts:
Once there, navigate to build/RPMS/noarch where you'll find the packages.
Release Packages
To build release packages and upload them to packages.icinga.com tag the release commit and push it.
git tag -s $VERSION-1 -m "Version $VERSION-1"
