When the FreeDOS update monthly/interim build is created, packages are pulled
directly from the FreeDOS project packages on GitLab. That build will pull the
“unstable” branch of those projects when that branch of it exists. Otherwise
the “master” branch is used. It then compress them into packages and builds the
release.
A “final” release will only pull from the master branches.
This has nothing to do with the packages stored at ibiblio. Updates to those
packages are done manually. Not all repositories there receive all updates.
Some updates are also postponed for other reasons as well.
“Latest” does not mean latest version. It simple means latest version in those
repositories.
