That is a great and uncomplicated question. Unfortunately, I do not think it
has a simple answer.
- The files contained under
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/
<https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/> are mirrors
from the original sites from where they were downloaded. Those files are not
modified and are official FreeDOS mirrors of the original files.
- The files contained under
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/
<https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/> are
the official software download and update repository for multiple versions of
the OS. These files have been modified to be compatible with package managers
provided with FreeDOS.
- The FreeDOS GitLab Archive at https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS
<https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS> provides the current official bug and issue
reporting system. It also contains projects for each package supplied with the
OS Release Media and the official download and update repository. Plus,
projects that are no longer maintained elsewhere can receive commits to these
projects for updates to the download repositories and the OS release itself.
Also when a new Release, Candidate or Interim build is created, the RBE pulls
directly from these repositories to generate packages.
In my opinion, the FreeDOS GitLab Archive is the current official location of
sources provided with FreeDOS. However for packages that are still maintained
elsewhere (like the Kernel, FreeCOM, etc.), we only mirror, restructure and add
metadata to the versions stored here. All updates to such active projects
should be made upstream. The links to those active projects is provided in
several locations in our version of the project on GitLab.

There is a link on the website to the FreeDOS Sources at FreeDOS GitLab Archive
on the Developers Page.
