Bug#784226: tracker.debian.org: Don't duplicate work
Package: tracker.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
as far as I can see, tracker.d.o seems to redo work for tasks that are
already done elsewhere.
The case I noticed is extracting files like changelogs and copyrights,
which the archive already extracts and provides in an rsyncable tree.[1]
It currently "only" extracts ('changelog', 'copyright', 'NEWS.Debian',
'README.Debian') but that list can be extended.
[1] It's currently limited to authenticated users, though we will move
that to the public ftp-master host so all can access it. But if you use
it, we will sync it directly to you, so get it updated on every update
dak is doing.

bye, Joerg
