archive.debian.org: woody archive is incomplete
Hi all,
It does not appear that woody is correctly archived on
archive.debian.org. In subdirectory
<http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/dists/woody/>
these files are missing according to a mirror I have located that still
appears to have some of the original content:
<http://debian.ihug.co.nz/debian/dists/woody/>:
[ ] ChangeLog 01-Jun-2005 08:17 2.3M
[ ] Contents-alpha.gz 01-Jun-2005 08:51 3.6M

[ ] Contents-sparc.gz 01-Jun-2005 08:42 3.5M
Other directories of the debian.ihug.co.nz archive appear to be corrupted/
out of sync, e.g.:
<http://debian.ihug.co.nz/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/>
Be careful about the validity of any replacement files. If this archive
was correctly synced the information would have already disappeared!
The woody ChangeLog is the only public record of all the packages added
to each new woody revision and should be accurately preserved.
Unfortunately no revision ChangeLog specifies the filename of the package
being replaced so one cannot determine the filename (hence version
number) of packages in the initial release (Revision 0).
Regards,
Adam
