Bug#1020217: snapshot.debian.org: write a generic file driver supporting multiple backend (such as object-storage)

[thomas@goirand.fr]

Even worse than this: closed source SERVICE that can be taken down at any moment in a split of a second...

Sponsored cloud services are a very dangerous drugs to be addicted to. Someone else computer, like the FSFE puts it!

As for the work, again, that'd be on me for the setup and maintenance (though not physical setup, but we can pay a service provider for that if we have no other option...).

As far as I understand the problem you see is that a valuable service of
Debian might get dependant from a closed-source service, right?  I would
like to hear the opinion of the poeple who are actually working on this.

Kind regards
