Renier,
I understand from my R&D and Product Management teams that there are
issues with easy access to a previous version of OpenHPI.
Please let me offer some thoughts...
With ENEA customer's as an example, telecom equipment manufactures
require a very long and rigorous testing and certification process prior
to deploying any software release into their live revenue generating
networks. Depending on the complexity of integration, this process can
collectively take from 3 to 9 months. This of course is after many
months of development and validation testing by the software vendor. So
it is not unusual to require a stable release from OpenHPI to be
available for up to a year. But, it is actually much longer than that
as most equipment manufactures require SW to be supported for at least 5
years.
Given that OpenHPI has become a ubiquitous ATCA management layer, it is
imperative that OpenHPI ensure easy access to at least 1 or 2 previous
versions for at least a year.
Does this make sense?
How do we move forward to ensure the ongoing access to at least 1
previous revision of OpenHPI?
Cheers,
Jim

Previous releases are periodically hidden to discourage people from
using obsolete versions of OpenHPI especially on the stable branch. This
causes us less problems in the future for obvious reasons.
2.10.2, the latest stable version, has been available since beginning of
March, so don't quite understand why that wasn't picked up for testing
instead.
However, since you insist, here is the link to 2.10.1:
