Hi, It depends on your definition of "externally". The pgsql DB is accessible from master, merkel, and locally on udd.debian.org. Also, there's a set of CGIs that export specific data on http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ I also would like to work on a CGI that would make it easier to retrieve data that is often useful, in a wide range of formats (CSV, YAML, JSON, etc...). But I haven't had time to work on that yet. - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
