Hi Andreas,
definitely, I would like to have a set of systems checking integrity or
consistency either at fixed times or at refresh time. Comparison with the data
already in the UDD would be great, as well as recursing the VCSes directly on
Alioth. I think that the difficult will be to find a way to deal with
thousands of packages without consuming too much resources. Any volunteer to
contribute solutions is more than welcome !
I hope we can do the proof of principle with the VCS URLs, now that Debian
source package control files are also gathered.
Cheers
