Alfie,
A better question would be, what exactly happened to "packages," and what might we do to help. Is the problem just that the system is possibly "tainted" due to the intrusion and needs close inspection, or has something been physically/irreparably deleted? Perhaps the system is being both debugged, untainted, and upgraded? I certainly wouldn't mind putting some time into taint-searching or even recoding sections of the package-search system if I knew how to make such help available First step of course, subscribing to debian-www (which, oddly, hasn't given me a confirmation so I'm not even sure this is going to be received properly) is done. ------------- In-Reply-To: http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2004/debian-www-200401/msg00005.html * Pim Scheffers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2004-01-02 09:32]: > I'm wondering when http://packages.debian.org is gonna come up again. Like everything in a Free Software project: When it's ready. All I can tell you that it is worked on. To make you a little bit happy: The version that will become online now will support non-i386 packages and package translations too (at least from what I understand) and close quite some bugreports....
