Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I use Debian Testing. Every time a package is fucked up, I would like to test the former version of that package, but to my knowledge, it is not kept anywhere any thus it is not available.

Taking Debian Stable package is of course not possible because of a huge number of dependancies which would break.

Why don't you keep the last version somewhere ? It would make debugging more easy and efficient.

First of all, the testing distribution is not officially supported.

Second, there is snapshot.debian.net and there will be snapshot.debian.org 
soo, providing what you ask for :-)

s.d.n can be accessed with URLs like http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2009/ 
(mind the trailing slash) and goes back to 2005, IIRC. It doesnt have 
packages after march 2009 - this will be fixed with s.d.o eventually :)

I'm closing this bug as the DSA RT queue would be the appropriate place for 
this - however they know and are activly working in this, so opening such a 
ticket would be useless as well.


regards,
	Holger
