snapshot.debian.{net,org} and spending Debian money

[Andreas Tille-5]

Hi,

more than a year ago it was announced that snapshot.debian.net has
trouble with disk capacity[1].  Some ideas were expressein in blogs and
even some rumor was there that we might have snapshot.debian.org in
"some months"[2].  Since this time more than 13 monthes went without
that I was able to notice any progress.  I have not read all the mails
about how to spend Debian money but if you ask me money would be very
reasonably spent if this service would be back and running quickly.

Kind regards

        Andreas.

snapshot.debian.org is already being worked on. IIRC the machine is
setup and some archives are syncing to the box, for further details,
perhaps someone from DSA reads this list, or contact
debian-admin@... or #debian-admin on IRC.

A DNS entry for this address containing a short status message would
be helpful.

Kind regards

Work is progressing, and it's already mostly functional.  We're not
taking it live just yet.  Peter will know more details than I do, but
I'm under the impression we're mostly waiting for a multi-TB sync from
.jp to finish.

Cheers,

That, and our second site in the UK to get racked.  I'd hate to go live
without having a backup of the data.

That's great news.  Is there any chance to create snapshot.debian.org
provide this info there and ask the .jp admins to also put some
information about the status online.  If you visit snapshot.debian.net
you will not immediately notice that the service is not providing up to
date packages (even if it was helpful for me yesterday anyway).

Kind regards

      Andreas.

Unlikely.  The person who operated s.d.n is overworked as it is.
