#10

Are the latest versions being build in the rcn-ee testing images?

#11

Is this the latest Debian 11.x (Bullseye) - Monthly Snapshots (ARM64)

#12

Yes, that’s close enough. There are more frequent builds as well, but I’m wondering if there is synchronization going on with RobertCNelson (rcn-ee).
