Dear UDD maintainer,

While attempting to make a patch for #897228, I discovered that the
instructions in [the wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/UltimateDebianDatabase/Hacking)
to setup a UDD development environment do not work:

- Vagrantfile refers to a local/contrib-stretch base box that
  probably only exists on your machine; please use debian/stretch64 or somesuch.
- `vagrant up` fails because the repository contains dangling symlinks
  that rsync refuses to copy.

I am including patches for those issues.


Unfortunately, none of the scripts under `vagrant/` that are offered to get
real UDD data for development will work for anyone but you: both assume SSH
access to ullman.debian.org, as user lucas.

Would it be possible instead to have UDD publish regular database dumps,
compressed and served over HTTPS?  As far as I understand, UDD only contains
public data, and this would make it possible for other people to contribute to
UDD :)


Best,

  nicoo

I fixed this

I think this is fixed too. I switched to using the contrib-stretch64,
which uses the (non-free) vboxfs module, but does not use rsync to
synchronize files.

I'm closing this bug. Please reopen if you still have issues.

Lucas
