Re: transition plan for apt-listbugs onto Debian infrastructure: temporarily on merkel.debian.org, then move over to bugs.debian.org

[Junichi Uekawa <dancer@netfort.gr.jp>]

Hi,

I'm now waiting for the following two things to happen.

1. Ack on using bugs.donarmstrong.com for the time being for apt-listbugs.

2. Deployment of SOAP interface to bugs.debian.org

3. Deployment of index.*.db files on bugs.debian.org

This will hit the mirrors soon-ish, there should be a bit of impact on
merkel.debian.org traffic, but not too much, since it won't enter
testing for quite a while.

This at least makes apt-listbugs work with up-to-date information,
rather than what was cached half-a-year ago.

apt-listbugs now supports SOAP. My local version feeds off index.*.db
from merkel.debian.org, and SOAP from bugs.donarmstrong.com.

This will be a future plan.
