Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi ftpmasters,
I discussed the issue at Debian QA list since it affects an UDD importer (ftpnew). Since the assumption came up that the problem is not created intentionally I'm filing a bug report: I noticed that the ftpnew gatherer for UDD is currently broken. The reason is that it is usually fetching files via wget -q -r -N --level=2 --no-parent --no-directories http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/ but if you try wget http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/ --2015-05-21 09:19:52-- http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/ Resolving ftp-master.debian.org (ftp-master.debian.org)... 138.16.160.12 Connecting to ftp-master.debian.org (ftp-master.debian.org)|138.16.160.12|:80... connected.

Paul Wise assumed[1] that this is fallout from the recent upgrade of franck to jessie and thus suggested to file a bug report. I can also confirm that I implemented a workaround for UDD which does not rely on reading the webdir[2]. So the new importer is functional again and I'd be fine if you simply close this bug in case it was an intentional configuration change. Please note that there might be other applications broken. In addition Paul suggested another feature[3] to provide all needed data in .822 format. I think we discussed this previously and I vaguely remember that I suggested a patch but it might be lost in eternal byte space. If you consider it sensible I'd volunteer to open another bug about this issue. Kind regards Andreas.
