Thanks for the update. If you think people can help you with that, please let us know. My current archive has sufficient capacity until the end of the year.

I also have this problem, and I've also started to archive packages for ports architectures that I actively use. Having to resort to this is very unfortunate. The snapshot.debian.org service is extremely useful for the ports especially as many ports regularly break newer package versions due to intermittent FTBS issues that cause the 'all' packages to be out of sync with the arch-specific ones. Having access to the recent history on snapshot.debian.org means that you can fetch the matching 'all' package version and fix the problem. If it's an issue of the ports architectures taking up too much disk space on Debian's servers, then maybe limit the history of the ports archive, but please keep it up to date. Though if I can afford the disk space on my home NAS then maybe the Debian project also could afford it and this is just a glitch. I'm hopeful. :) - Erik

For the ports, there's plain nothing. Having snapshots of the debian ports is important to me. As there was no officical reaction of any kind, I've started running my own archive, using filesystem snapshots. However, I do not intend to make this a public service as I lack the ressources to do this in a sane way, also this would only be understood as a competition, life is to short for that. It you, future reader, need access to a particular file, drop me a line. As processing will have to be done by hand, answers might take a while. Christoph signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Package: snapshot.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian.a...@manchmal.in-ulm.de Greetings, Looking at https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/ it seems debian-ports was not updated for almost half a year now. If that was just an error, please fix it. If it was discontinued by intention, please place according notices - or better, re-consider your decision: For release architectures, there's at least archive.d.o to access some older versions of packages, although in a two-year interval only. For the ports, there's plain nothing. Christoph signature.asc Description: PGP signature
