I second this, snapshot.d.o pas proven to be an invaluable tool for reproducing issues. Is there any way we can help resolve the open issues? Best, Christian

I was looking for the mailing list under: https://lists.debian.org/devel.html and that seems to where the old debian-snapshots list. I guess at some point ten years ago that list was killed, and debian-snapshot was created under: https://lists.debian.org/misc.html BTW, it also looks like not only are some snapshots not being taken, some of the snapshots are missing packages. For example: https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230806T091912Z/ is missing the package libc-dev-bin, and: https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230807T150823Z/ is missing the package dbus. Which is something that I'm finding when I try building an kvm-xfstests VM using: https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/test-appliance/gen-image Ah, well, I guess I'll try the snapshot for 20230805T151946Z next - Ted

Hi Ted, * Theodore Ts'o [2023-08-08 20:28]: I was curious about this, since I rely on snapshots.debian.org in ^ snapshot ;) order to create repeatable builds for a file system test appliance, so I started digging a bit. Looking at the debian-bugs pseudo-package "snapshot.debian.org": https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=snapshot.debian.org the maintainer is listed as: "snapshot.debian.org Team " But according to lists.debian.org, "debian-shaphots" is a dead list, and apparently the last archived message to the list is from September 2001: https://lists.debian.org/debian-snapshots/ ^ snapshot ;) The list is here and seems active: https://lists.debian.org/debian-snapshot/ @josch: maybe ask on that list as well.

I was curious about this, since I rely on snapshots.debian.org in order to create repeatable builds for a file system test appliance, so I started digging a bit. Looking at the debian-bugs pseudo-package "snapshot.debian.org": https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=snapshot.debian.org the maintainer is listed as: "snapshot.debian.org Team " But according to lists.debian.org, "debian-shaphots" is a dead list, and apparently the last archived message to the list is from September 2001: https://lists.debian.org/debian-snapshots/ That seems unfortunate. - Ted
