Do you have specific examples of what is missing?
yes
10.0.10 - 10.0.13 inclusive are missing glibc and systemd bintars (names like bintar-linux-glibc_214-x86/, bintar-linux-glibc_214-x86_64/, bintar-linux-systemd-x86/ and bintar-linux-systemd-x86_64/)
10.0.14 - 10.0.29 inclusive and 10.1.8 - 10.1.21 inclusive are missing systemd bintars (names like bintar-linux-systemd-x86/ and bintar-linux-systemd-x86_64/)
10.3.7 and 10.4.6 - 10.4.8 inclusive are missing "plain" bintar folders like bintar-linux-x86_64/ and bintar-linux-x86/
10.4.10 - 10.4.13 inclusive are missing 32 bit versions of the plain bintar only!! (name like bintar-linux-x86/)
10.5.4-10.5.8 inclusive are all missing the glibc bintars (both 32 and 64 bit) (names like bintar-linux-glibc-x86/ and bintar-linux-glibc-x86_64/)
For 10.5, we no longer build with earlier versions of glibc, as all modern systems have long since come with later versions of glibc, so there's no longer any need to differentiate.
10.0.10-13 goes back to 2014, but it's possible the reverse applied back then, and we didn't build for newer versions.
For the systemd ones, it's also likely we didn't build for systemd back then.
For the others, it's possible there were specific issues with certain builds, but I don't have an explanation for those.
