If you would do it the other way round for your own repo: .../version/board-type/ then you could include the version number in your "Repository URL" in the Prefs and it would work as before. You would need a "board-type" folder structure for every release in that case. > I wouldn't bother with my own repository if that was the case! > > Regards > Michael Knill > > On 19/1/20, 9:48 am, "Lonnie Abelbeck" <li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com> wrote: > > Hi Michael, > >> I have been using a Private Repository ... > >> I just copy in the upgrade files from the official Astlinux Repository. > > Ahh, OK ... simple enough. > > I was thinking you were somehow adding your "special sauce" to the official > images to create custom images, which I did not know how you could do that > without building images yourself. > > Lonnie > > > >> On Jan 18, 2020, at 4:40 PM, Michael Knill >> <michael.kn...@ipcsolutions.com.au> wrote: >> >> Thanks guys >> >> I was not aware of that doco to convert to a vm board type.
