GRO File Release Archive
Originally at gro.clinux.org/frs
gro.clinux.org was a GForge-style project hosting platform — the Chinese Linux community's equivalent of SourceForge in the mid-2000s. The /frs/ (File Release System) URLs hosted versioned download archives for dozens of community projects.
Projects that lived under /frs/
The FRS was home to releases for many Chinese-community-maintained tools: vimcdoc (the Chinese Vim documentation translation), foo_uie_lyrics (a Foobar2000 lyrics-display plugin), ircp-tray (a Linux infrared file-transfer tool, referenced from German Ubuntu wiki), Linuxdown (a multi-threaded download utility), Chinese-localised PuTTY packages, and SkyEye (the ARM emulator). Each project had its own group_id and release_id under the FRS.
Most-cited paths
The download.php URLs (with numeric file IDs) were embedded in tutorial blogs, university course pages, and forum threads from Germany, Brazil, and across China. group_id=737 corresponded to the foo_uie_lyrics plugin; group_id=704 corresponded to ircp-tray; the SkyEye release IDs in the 1400-range corresponded to the 1.2-RC series.
Where the archives live now
Most of the projects that lived under gro.clinux.org/frs have either moved to GitHub or live as historical archives on SourceForge. The Wayback Machine has substantial coverage of the original FRS pages — the snapshot captures from 2007–2012 are the most useful for finding specific old release downloads.
