Hi Olivier and Andreas,
I just updated the IP address, thanks for the hint. I realised some time ago
that the service was unavailable, but I thought it was caused by the upgrade
to Jessie...
The fact that Olivier is the first to report the problem in public suggests
that not many people have a use of this service. Earlier this year, I started
a discussion about terminating upstream-metadata.debian.net and there was not
much objections against it.
In 2014, the service was affected by a bug that I could not resolve, and I
could not get any help for it.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2014/06/msg00022.html
Altogether I am blocked and it is clear that I will not be able to provide
a good quality of service alone.
As a pet project, I tried a couple of times to reimplement the whole system
in Haskell, but I still have to iron out my skills on simple issues such as
the handling of command-line options, etc.
Altogether, while I am satisfied that I could start this project and provide a
prototype, I also realise that the design is very naive, for instance I admit
that I do not know what would happen in case of concurrent access to the
database.
So in my opinion, it can not continue at a one-man project.
Have a nice day
