True that. >> The duck worker has to process around 460000 urls (only counting >> Homepage) in less than 24h. > > How do you get to that figure?

Err, sorry about that. That figure is the result of: $ curl -s http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/Sources.gz | zgrep -v Homepage: | sort -u | wc -l 458804 Which is obviously wrong. Here is the real number: $ curl -s http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/Sources.gz | zgrep Homepage: | sort -u | wc -l 26250 >> I'm not sure that can done properly using >> the distro-tracker tasks (parallel workers are needed to work around >> timeout).

Then, let's add this to distro-tracker :) I've created an issue on the project on salsa so we can discuss technical details : https://salsa.debian.org/qa/distro-tracker/-/issues/51 As I've said before, I would like to finish up on a couple of other projects (namely mentors.d.n and snapshot.d.o) and I will be available right after that.
