Dear Christian,
Thank you for your response.

So the Change-Id is added to all commits, even if not pushed for Gerrit
for review? I guess, for example, to better track cherry-picks in other
branches?

I had the same problem with 5.3.4.2 [4], though the lag wasn’t that big
then.

I guess that download.documentfoundation.org is the *master* though,
that means, all mirrors mirror from that server?

Yes, *today* they are there. Yesterday, that directory was *not* there,
or wasn’t accessible. I checked with GNU Wget and a browser.
So does it take over a week to get the archives published, or does the
directory need to be manually created on the server, and was just forgotten?

I know, but our internal package build system was written for source
archives, so that’s what we prefer.
Kind regards,
