I would like to do some statistical archaeology. I think the easiest way would be to download every available Sources.xz. (I'm only interested in sid main.)
I don't actually need the whole file. Specifically, for each snapshot, I just want to know: how many entries are there in Sources and how many of those entries have a `Dgit' field. I will want to repeat this exercise in an incremental way, to generate a pretty graph. Is there a better way of doing this than downloading every Sources.xz ?
