To be honest, I view respawning lintian.d.o as a waste of time. But, and I'm already regretting this, I'm okay respawning a VM anyway, *after* we've handled our ganeti cluster migration, if none of my DSA teammates have a strong objection. I'm okay putting an apache2 config and a static website based on Nicolas' (I think it was him?) work. BUT: I need at least two DDs committing to maintain the info up-to-date as I do not intend to do it. If the data becomes more than six months old, I'd consider this a good argument in favour of wiping the VM and getting rid of lintian.d.o for good. Otherwise, I'm also okay adding a CNAME from lintian.d.o to a web redirector that points to the wiki page Lucas provided. Bests, -- PEB
