Thank you very much, indeed. Coincidentally, I'm also using the snapshots for non-debian build scripts (for Windows, macOS, Android). I'm not using the debian rules, but the copyright, patches, and DFSG source tarballs. I cannot switch versions at the pace of the debian packages, and I'm unaware of mirrors which provide long-term stable download URLs for older versions (except of uploads to/downloads from my own webspace). The sources are cached in CI, so the load should be very low anyway.Evan Jones schrieb am Monday, dem 21. October 2019:THANK YOU and whoever else is involved in maintaining this. Just letting you know that I appreciate the work here. I don't work for Google, but I do use Distroless [1], a lightweight Debian-based container runtime that uses snapshot to have reproducible builds, so this was definitely annoying to work around. Thanks! [1] https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distrolessI'm tempted to think that this tool should not use snapshot but the real mirrors that can handle the load way better.
OTOH it seems this kind of usage helps to discover such debian snapshots issues quickly.
