Thanks for the report.

Jep we missed to place the pre-patch on our server and until v6.17 dietpi.com repo is used first. I will place it right now, wait a moment.

€: Done, can you please retry?

@Fourdee
Okay to remember: Of course now we need to place/update pre-patch_file in dietpi.com update repo as well.

@Fourdee
I edited it a bid. Since v6.17 we use GitHub mirror as first try, but pre v6.17 we used dietpi.com mirror as first try. So especially for pre-v6.17 updates + in case GitHub is down, this is required.

Shall we also upload the beta branch? At least when starting next beta phase?

Shall we also upload the beta branch? At least when starting next beta phase?

Good idea, but requires us to ensure we manually update mirror after each change.

Might be worth us investing in a cron job to do this for us, every hour?
