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.
