Hi, I promised this a while ago and I've finally found the leisure and time to implement it:
A small script (well, two scripts actually, but both quite simple) which finds all aptitude-doc-* packages in Debian Unstable, downloads them and extracts the contained HTML documentation for publishing it on the web. The script's instance is installed on Alioth in /srv/home/groups/aptitude/bin/, uses /srv/home/groups/aptitude/tmp/ as download area and extracts the docs to /srv/home/groups/aptitude/htdocs/doc/ aka http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/doc/ I've created a git repository for it at /git/aptitude/aptitude-documentation-fetcher.git/ which I would expect to show up at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/aptitude/aptitude-documentation-fetcher.git but doesn't (yet). Oh, and yes, http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/doc/ is now uptodate again. I wonder if I should install a cron-job on Alioth running that script. And if so, how often? Daily? Weekly? It currently takes about one second (only, yes). It downloads the package list and the packages only if they have changed (or are not present; hanks to wget -N), but it always extracts all packages without checking if they're already extracted. (And it doesn't yet clean up old, previously downloaded packages yet. Will add that later today. Another thing which may be helpful is also tracking verions in Debian Experimental.)
