http://kernel.fdos.org/ lists two links at the top, "Download .zip" and "Download .tar.gz". These lead to https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/zipball/master respectively https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/tarball/master

Later on the page it lists:

Contents of zip files: ke20xx_16.zip : binaries for 8086, FAT16 ke20xx_32.zip : binaries for 8086, FAT16, FAT32 ke20xxsrc.zip : sources for the kernel

However, the zipball/tarball archives do not seem to contain the compiled binaries, only the source image as of the most recent commit. So there is no release archive available any more. (I went to http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/kernel/2042/ instead.)

@bartoldeman , @PerditionC in light of the recent debacle around Travis-CI and free OSS use, perhaps it might be best to move the CI build to Github Actions. I'm willing to do / help with migration, and I wonder if we can automatically publish a zip of the latest successful build at the same time. I'm sure that someone else will have to do that (is FDOS a team or a personal account?) as I'm sure it's a privileged operation.

It is a team. I haven't paid much attention so not really sure the debacle is, but I definitely am up for automatic building with archives. I will help as best as I can, but unfortunately I just don't have a lot of free time.
