Aha, this explains why my last upload takes so long to appear on
mentors' website. What was the reason behind such a long interval?
Documentation on the website claims that the newly uploaded packages

I guess, the HTTP-based method does not have this absurd 30 minutes
long delay... Trying to login and sort things out...
BTW, do I understand right that its impossible to login with https
anymore?
