See <a href="https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/releases/6/tar/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">6 release tar files</a>. Release tar files have published check sums and each release contains check sums for each tar file including the RSB and that contains check sums so each piece can be checked. There is no git (or any other version control system) history provided.</p>
