-== snapshot.debian.org ==
-
-Currently snapshot.debian.net is operated by a single individual on their
-hardware at home. It is a service archiving old binary and source packages.
-Access to old packages, which have in the meantime been deleted from the
-regular debian archive, allows Developers and Users to debug upgrade problems,
-to check when regressions were introduced, to check if old packages had been
-miscompiled, to downgrade to older versions while bugs are being fixed etc.
-
-Requirements:
-
-* Two systems with sufficient storage, hosted somewhere not in the US (so we
- can import old non-US into it).
-* Storage should be at least on the order of 8T (currently snapshot.d.n is
- using about 4T), and easily expandable
-* remote management stuff

-Proposers:
-
-* Joerg Jaspert/ftpteam

== data.d.o ==
A service by ftpmaster to host larger arch-all packages for datasets like
-== merge.d.o ==
-
-I'd like to use Ubuntu's merge-o-matic to generate diffs between Debian's
-source archive and the source archives of various other Debian-based distros
-(Knoppix, Freespire, Mepis, Sidux, gNewSense and so on). The result will be
-much like patches.ubuntu.com. merge-o-matic downloads source packages, unpacks
-them and generates diffs against unpacked pure debian source packages. As a
-result lots of disk space would be required since the whole Debian archive plus
-an unpacked version of it and the same for each derivative distribution is
-needed.
-
-Requirements:
-
-* a system with sufficient disk space (how much is that?)

== source.debian.org ==
Idea: A machine which has all sources extracted from orig.tar.gz + diff applied for all dists.
