How often is FWPP updated?

[kofik]

Hi

rsyncing FWPP allows us to keep a good stock of most relevant firmware available internally, but I saw that it lags behind compare to what is available using the web downloads.

Here are 3 examples between FWPP vs. web download:

• DL380 Gen9 UEFI 2.72 vs. 2.74,
• Intel NIC firmware 1.17.17 vs. 1.18
• QLogic NC2 firmware 2.24.15 vs. 2.25.10

Is there anything HPE can share as to how often the FWPP team syncs its repository with the web download sources?

The SDR site project started out as the released SPP product turned into a Linux repository to be used with native Linux tools, so the site follows the SPP release cycle.  We are working on enhancing the site to include out of cycle web releases into the SDR process.
