note: resolved to https://tectonic.newton.cx/bundles/tlextras-2018.1r0/bundle.tar
note: downloading index https://tectonic.newton.cx/bundles/tlextras-2018.1r0/bundle.tar.index.gz
I also noticed https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic-staging hasn’t had commits since 2018. Is it supposed to be updated periodically? Manually or by a CI?
