Sorry for being a bit quiet in recent weeks. I've been reading the
mails but have been a bit short of time to act on them.

Thanks. This particular crash should be fixed when things settle -
still working on a couple of pending

In the firmware?

I can't find last weeks report. Please can you post it again?
The repo is always generated by cron, so there shouldn't be any inconsistencies.
I just checked, the file is definitely gzipped, and I can use yum to
install things.

Thanks a lot for the testing!
