Which gets your changes into the git repository, and collects the 
modified catalogues, (in *.xml.lzma format), into "unpublished" subdirs 
within your local build tree.  We stopped short of automating upload to 
FRS, so...

That final upload step, perhaps?  I'd also suggest that, after you've 
verified completion of this, (see below), you delete the content of your 
local "unpublished" subdirs.

It's possible, but if you haven't completed the publication process, 
probably not related.

After uploading to FRS, you may need to wait around 30 mins, for the new 
*.xml.lzma file(s) to propagate to the mirrors.  Then you must do

   $ mingw-get update

to make your local mingw-get installation aware of the change(s) [*]. 
Only when you've completed these steps, can you rigorously verify that 
your updates are available to all users, via mingw-get.

[*] I'm assuming that you are not using the GUI snapshot of mingw-get, 
which I posted just before Christmas.  Only 10 users (worldwide) have 
shown sufficient interest to download, and not a single comment!  Very 
discouraging; I almost wonder if it's worth progressing it further.
