Yup, the URL is https://cfengine-package-repos.s3.amazonaws.com/community_binaries/Community-3.18.1/agent_rhel8_x86_64/cfengine-community-3.18.1-1.el8.x86_64.rpm and again, the smaller size is expected. > > Summary: > * the listings for 3.18.1 seem poorly worded and omit release "8". > * for both 3.18.0 and 3.18.1 the RPM size for "8" looks incorrect, at about half-size. > Could someone review and check this please?
