Thanks a lot for this repository! It works nicely with self-compiled 6.16=20
and 6.17.

I appears to me that the release channel "release" is gone since some=20
days:

Ign:3 https://apt.bcachefs.org/unstable bcachefs-tools-release InRelease   =
   =20
Err:4 https://apt.bcachefs.org/unstable bcachefs-tools-release Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 2a[=E2=80=A6]f3::1 443]
Error: The repository 'https://apt.bcachefs.org/unstable bcachefs-tools-
release Release' no longer has a Release file.

In https://apt.bcachefs.org/dists/unstable/dists/ I only find
bcachefs-tools-snapshot

=46or now I assume that the intention is to bring it back. Especially as th=
e=20
documentation on https://apt.bcachefs.org still refers to it.

If otherwise, please tell us what your plans are, Kent and Roman.

Thank you.

Best,
