This issue is caused by the underlying SourceForge infrastructure (their files RSS feed) starting to apply rate limiting and returning HTTP 429 Too Many Requests errors, which the Debian QA redirector easily hits, depending on how much use the service has per day. We could have individual contributors rewrite every single one of their SourceForge debian/watch files to use the SourceForge files RSS feeds. Alternatively we could move the code for the SourceForge redirector into uscan so that individual uscan users get separate rate limit buckets, rather than having one large Debian rate limit bucket. Unfortunately these changes will not fix the problem of UDD getting errors all the time. To fix that, UDD would need to gain a distributed architecture with multiple IP addresses all contacting SourceForge. That may cause overloads of the SourceForge server resources though, which would probably lead to uscan getting blocked again. So maybe we need to discuss this with SourceForge again. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
