I wasn’t able to make time to update the packages for T2405 until last night. Basically what happens is this… I update the packages at the GitLab FreeDOS archive. Which performs a bunch of validation and such things. It also wraps them up into a package. This is where the RBE (release build environment) fetch’s the packages for the Interim and Release builds. Then I download the FreeDOS compatible package from GitLab. Then I upload them to my server at http://fd.lod.bz and the repository management tools make some adjustments to the metadata. My server checks for such updates hourly. Then I download that from my server and upload it ibiblio. The repo management tools also are running there. However, they will see the adjustments to the metadata have already been made and just update its web pages. Ibiblio only checks automatically once per day for updates. Unfortunately, the underlying utilities that get used to update the metadata can very slightly between the 2 servers. That can result in different hashes for the packages. Since the repo management software on both servers is the same. The order of upload to those servers is not important. It’s just easier to update ibiblio last. Especially since there can be multiple copies of the packages in the different OS version repositories on that server. Anyhow, those are already on GitLab and my server. Just waiting for me to download them and upload copies to ibiblio. I will be away from a computer for most of the day today. (Sending this from a phone). But, I should get to that at some point before tomorrow. :-) Jerome
