That is my fault. Generally, Jim does not update files under the Repositories [R1] directory. The files located under that path are not exact “mirrors”. They are “update packages”. For the most part, that section on ibiblio is fully automated and basically just requires me to drop a new version of a package into the appropriate upload directories. The management software takes care of the rest. It performs some version control, creates static web pages, adjusts file system links and etc. For example, the file you referred to in [5] is just a link to the latest file in the ldebug sub-directory. As it turns out, if you were to have visited the html for the repository at [R2], it showed the latest version as release_5.zip. It also showed an older/alternate version for release 4 as simply ldebug.zip. This was probably caused be me being lazy and just dropping the updated version directly into the unstable repository (at present, the latest repo is just a link to the unstable repo). Generally, the management software will catch this and adjust the links. But, not always when a full verification of the repo is not performed. This was easy to fix. I just deleted the link [5] to the latest file and told the repo to update. It adjusted it to the latest file and updated the html file to the appropriate file names. > [..] After correcting the issue with [5], I updated the package on the GitLab FreeDOS Archive [R3]. That way Release 6 will be in the next FreeDOS interim Build. Then, I uploaded copies to the repos (1.3 and Unstable) on ibiblio. I think all looks good now. If you notice any other issues, please let me know.
