Hi @nicu1989!

Thanks for the report. Apologies for the inconsistencies here in our manual - we're still planning to publish these packs to the codeql org, but they haven't quite made it yet. We should get them published in the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, we have published the packs to the advanced-security organization (which is also controlled by GitHub), so as a temporary workaround you can use advanced-security/misra-c-coding-standards or advanced-security/misra-cpp-coding-standards (see https://github.com/orgs/advanced-security/packages?tab=packages&q=coding-standards).

Thanks Luke. I will close the ticket then.

@nicu1989 fyi, the packs are now published to the codeql org. Do let us know if you have any problems!
