Debian derivatives
Suggestions from Debian's pabs (pabs@d.o) to inject into Software Heritage archive all the distributions listed in the Debian derivatives census:
Hi folks, At the DebConf16 talk we discussed importing Debian derivatives source packages into the Software Heritage archive. Below is a rough guide about how to do it. If you want more detail I can give it in person at DebConf16, via email or via IRC. First download the census page to get a list of derivatives: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/Makefile.var#n69 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/bin/get-wiki-html https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/bin/wiki-html-to-derivatives-list Then download the text versions of their wiki pages: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/Makefile.deriv#n51 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/bin/get-wiki-text Then extract the sources.list files from each wiki page: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/Makefile.deriv#n57 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/bin/wiki-text-to-sources-list Then download the apt meta-data into a subdirectory, the APT_CONFIG environment variable must be set otherwise apt will use system hooks: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/Makefile.deriv#n60 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/bin/get-package-lists https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/bin/fakegpgv https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/etc/apt.conf https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/Makefile.deriv#n6 Then you will need an importer for apt repositories that is based on sources.list input files. The compare-source-package-list script from the derivatives census has a loop around source packages, you would just need to add downloading them using the apt acquire system. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/bin/compare-source-package-list#n1149 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dex/census.git/tree/Makefile.deriv#n63
In addition, a significant cache of source packages from derivatives, including disappeared ones, is available on lw08.debian.org
