Ah, I see. I was looking for the mailing list under:
https://lists.debian.org/devel.html
and that seems to where the old debian-snapshots list. I guess at
some point ten years ago that list was killed, and debian-snapshot was
created under:
https://lists.debian.org/misc.html
BTW, it also looks like not only are some snapshots not being taken,
some of the snapshots are missing packages. For example:
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230806T091912Z/
is missing the package libc-dev-bin, and:
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230807T150823Z/
is missing the package dbus. Which is something that I'm finding when
I try building an kvm-xfstests VM using:
https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/test-appliance/gen-image
Ah, well, I guess I'll try the snapshot for 20230805T151946Z next....
