Now the script will copy only the SPK file into the specified target folder. It’s also possible to copy the expanded version by setting the variable COPYEXPAND=true

Also, now, I don’t find anymore a folder name “pkglist.tmp” containing files synoserver.enu and otherserver.enu. Those files used to contain the URL’s of all SPK available respectively on the official Synology website and on the various SPK servers that you configured in your Package Center > Settings > Package Sources.

To make the capture even easier, I have create a Package named “MODS Package Capture, available on my SPK Server and published on GitHub.
