The packages available at <your local mirror>/packages/<arch>/ are -release packages, they are not -stable. The Project does not currently build -stable packages due to resource constraints. To use -stable packages (e.g.: PHP 7.2.13), you must build them yourself or obtain them from a third party such as mtier.org. Another option is to use -current. The Project builds -current packages for popular architectures.
