Hi Paul,
The “unstable” versions of DJGPP are now available in the Unstable/Latest
download repository on ibiblio and with FDNPKG.

A couple notes…
DJ_GCSRC and DJ_WATCP were initially rejected by the repository management
utilities. The APPINFO/*.LSM metadata file names did not match the package
name. I simply renamed those files so they would be accepted. However, this
will need fixed in the unstable branch on GitLab.
DJ_BASH contains no files and was excluded.
Several packages contain LFN files outside of the SOURCES directory. At
present, none of the package management software under DOS deals very well with
LFN files when LFN support is not present. So for the time being (and
foreseeable future), those files get wrapped up into an LFNFILES.ZIP under
their parent directory.
At some point, I plan on adding networking (and many other things) to FDIMPLES.
When that happens, I also plan to have it deal with packages that contain LFN
files more gracefully. For example, check if LFNs are currently supported. When
they are not, warn the user. When LFN is supported, simply extract those files
as well. But out of my big to-do projects, the new version of FDIMPLES is like
item 3 or 4. So, that will be quite a while from now.
:-)
Jerome
