Randolph and I were noticing that new packages are not shnowing up on packages.debian.org anymore. For example, the archive has:
lftp ftp.debian.org:/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/editors> dir codecomma* -rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp ftp 262000 Aug 5 18:52 codecommander_0.9.7-2.deb But packages.debian.org is not aware of this package. Well I tracked this one down. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/org/www.debian.org/cron/daily_updates>./2packages getting Packages/Sources from unstable /org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/dists/unstable/main/source/Sources.gz: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/org/www.debian.org/cron/daily_updates>ls -l /org/ftp.debian.org total 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 596 Jan 19 2000 apache.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 27 1998 debian -> ftp/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 14 1999 ftp -> ../ftp.root/debian Both of these links are broken. What really confuses me is this in today's log: run-parts: executing /org/www.debian.org/cron/daily_updates/2packages getting Packages/Sources from unstable updating Packages/unstable getting Packages/Sources from frozen updating Packages/frozen getting Packages/Sources from stable updating Packages/stable Re-indexing files for web searches [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/org/www.debian.org/cron/daily_updates> So how on earth does it work with a broken symlink? -- see shy jo
