You might check out http://snapshot.debian.net/, daily snapshots of sid going back to 2002/06/04. I have the last 30 days worth of archives in my sources.list. I'm using relative days (nn-days-ago) instead of absolute days (2004/04/02), though I would love to figure out a way to set up my sources.list to use the last thirty days in absolute days, automatically knowing what day it is. My rationale is that this would be more cache friendly, since I'd only have to download one new set of Packages.gz a day from snapshot.debian.net instead of 30. -- Paul Johnson <baloo@ursine.ca>
