Hi, According to "select * from upstream where source='linux';", the last check for Linux was on 2023-02-06 00:20:35. Unfortunately, that's not much time before 6.2rc7 appeared. Packages are refreshed every 72 hours. We are already hitting rate limiting from some sources (e.g github) so I don't think that it would be a good idea to reduce that interval. Lucas
