Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have noticed in the past week or so (starting mid-August 2015) that my
packages hosted on Alioth display ERROR under the VCS column of my DDPO
page [1]. The corresponding vcswatch page shows the error as, e.g.,
fatal: unable to access 'https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/
packages/frobby.git/': Failed to connect to anonscm.debian.org port 443:
Connection refused [2]
This feature use to work as expected (see, e.g., Google's cached version of the
frobby vcswatch page at [3]).
My guess is that this is due to the fact that I have used the https protocol
link in the Vcs-Git field of d/control in these packages. However, other
packages hosted elsewhere (e.g., GitHub) but using the https protocol seem fine
(see, e.g., [4]).
Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Thanks!
Doug Torrance

it is already fixed. The host that hosts vcswatch ran into some DOS
protection on alioth and was blocked afterwards. I added it to a whitelist,
the problem won't happen anymore.
