Re: Bug#969605: snapshot.debian.org: please make it possible to figure out which timestamp one is currently using

["Mondy, Luke (Data61, Kensington NSW)" <Luke.Mondy@data61.csiro.au>]

Hi Josch,

Currently I use this curl one-liner to resolve an arbitrary date into a real snapshot date, though it's a bit of a hack:
SNAPSHOT_DATE=$(basename $(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%I00Z)/) )

Is that something you can use?

Cheers,
Luke
