I can certainly make that file available (we get it from dak, and it's already available via rsync) but if you're trying to do binary->source mapping, that's not the file that you want. We only use that as a last gasp effort if a proper mapping doesn't work. Doing a proper binary->source requires knowing the (binary package,version,arch) triple, and that file doesn't know anything about that. [It also doesn't know anything about historical binary versions that we may have shipped.] This is what the code in binary_to_source does that we expose via SOAP, and it uses the binsrc.idx bdb database file, which you can rsync directly from the BTS (rsync://bugs-mirror.debian.org/bts-versions/indices/binsrc.idx). [You should also be able to directly rsync the sources file using rsync://bugs-mirror.debian.org/bts-spool-indexes/sources .] Don Armstrong -- We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live together we have to talk. -- Eleanor Roosevelt http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
