Hi rhermsen
submitqc.tcz, dhcpcd.tcz, and inxi.tcz have had their block
sizes changed to 16K. New md5 files have also been created.

Thank you for reporting this.

Rich,

Do you know how inxi get submitted, I see this one alot.

Paul.

Hi Paul_123
inxi is maintained by h2 (smxi.org/site/contact.php):

Likely it's being submitted to tcesubmit @ gmail . com which Juanito processes.

Hi Paul_123
Last I heard, all extensions are being sent to tcesubmit due to this:

In fact nobody has the password for the piCore submit email, so you’ll need to send it to the main one.

[Juanito]

Ah, sorry - I thought the server extension loader checked aarch64 submissions and corrected the block size if needed.

@Rich: Isn't @curaga able to, at very least, reset the email address' password?  (I thought email was in his wheel-house.)

It’s not that smart yet.

Hi CentralWare
Curaga could reset it if the email was hosted on our server.
The email address is picoresubmit@gmail.com, so unless
there is some "Forgot Password?" recovery mechanism in
place, you're locked out.

I think bmarkus set up that account.

@Rich: Got'cha. I hadn't pictured gMail in the mix.  Isn't Bela/@bmarkus still around every so often?  I could have sworn I saw him here just in this past week or so!?

LOL - too many hands...  not enough cookie jars!

Take care!
