How to download a more specific version of graalvm than "21"?

[borkdude]

I tried curl -vLO https://download.oracle.com/graalvm/21/archive/graalvm-jdk-21+35.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz but this doesn't work. What specific versions of 21 are there? I'd like to not change the version of GraalVM from under me in CI.

Perhaps mr. Niephaus knows? @fniephaus :)

I think you are looking for this, which should point to the 21.0.0 release "forever":

Thanks a lot! I saw that page, but I assumed that just "jdk-21" would automatically upgrade to a new "point" release in the future, e.g. from 21.0.0 to 21.0.2 or whatever?

Ah yes, exactly as that page says:

These URLs will deliver the current versions of JDK 21 and of GraalVM for JDK 21 with their respective checksums. When 21.0.1 is "current", those URLs deliver 21.0.1. After the release of 21.0.2 in January of 2024 the above URLs will deliver 21.0.2 and so on.

I don't want to have this behavior. My question was about how to get exactly 21.0.0 and always get that version, not 21.0.2 in the future.

The link I mentioned uses /archive/ and not /latest/, and gives you the GA version and not the latest version.

@fniephaus Got it, thank you!
