You can find Packages.bz2 files from Debian all the way back to 2005 at http://snapshot.debian.org by downloading a sample of these (say, every few days), you can possibly get enough data for older versions of every package maintained in Debian since then. Unfortunately, older versions of Packages.b2 files on snapshot.d.o contain errors which make it impossible for dose3 to parse them. Since later in your email you said you might want to use dose3, you might want to have a look at this script I wrote to clean up and repair old Packages.bz2 files from snapshot.d.o so that dose3 can parse them: https://gitorious.org/debian-bootstrap/botch/source/examples/snapshot/download.sh That script downloads and cleans Packages.bz2 and Sources.bz2 from snapshot.d.org in a five day interval starting in 2005. You can find a bit more here: http://blog.mister-muffin.de/2012/10/12/analyzing-packages-and-sources-from-snapshot.debian.org/ The result can then be parsed with dose3. cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
