Hello,

so far, Debtags updates to the archive still happen with me manually
doing an upload, and I'd like to free myself from that commitment.

At DebConf18, as the result of a conversation with Ansgar, I prepared
these links to export overrides from the archive, so that they can be
pulled directly from ftp-master's side:

 - https://debtags.debian.org/exports/overrides/main
 - https://debtags.debian.org/exports/overrides/contrib
 - https://debtags.debian.org/exports/overrides/non-free

In the end I'm not aware that anything happening with them, and they
may have been lost in the busy time of the conference, so I'd like to
re-announce them in a more permanent way.

Those link produce the same contents of the files I sometimes remember
to upload to the archive. I'd like it if you could pull that information
automatically, instead of waiting for my uploads.

Hi,

Enrico did sunset debtags some time ago and there are some people who
would want to try to keep the service alive. While doing some research
on how debtags used to work, I stumbled on this bug...


Enrico wrote in 2019:

Is this still the case - and if so does that mean there have not been
any updates recently?
How does that work - I see that there are override files on [0], but how
was/is the output of debtags integrated into those override files?
Has anything ever happened with those exports?

And a related question: once a Debian release is stable, do the
overrides still get changed? Or do the updates of the debtags database
only affect the overrides of unstable?

cheers,
Birger
