package: snapshot.debian.org severity: important x-debbugs-cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Hi, filing this as a bug report, again, because the problem has become worse than when #1031628 was filed and since snapshot.d.o is part of the central services Debian provides and it should work better than it does right now. else, why do we operate it? ;) On Wed, Aug 02, 2023 at 01:33:11PM +0200, Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues wrote: > snapshot.debian.org is getting worse again.

On https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/?year=2023&month=8 I count 31 snapshot for those 29 days of August so far, with no snapshots so far for 2023-08-01, 2023-08-08, 2023-08-17 and 2023-08-29.

Please don't just close this bug report as it was done with #1031628, it's useful to be able to track this, point out that this problem has been existed since some time and have a place to discussion workarounds. Also, how can one start helping with this issue (or others)? where does the snapshot team communicate? https://salsa.debian.org/snapshot-team/snapshot/-/commits/master has not seen any commit since 7 months. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ Alles weird gut.
