Indeed the reduced dataset has been introduced long years ago and currently the script is exposed to possible failures due to mirror disappearing or changes in paths. A full dataset AND a grabbing script for updates would be possibly more useful. Alioth could be used as a stable repository for metainformation about the upstream repositories and allow the script to work. That applies to other data of course. -- Francesco P.
