Any guesses when he is inspected to be only again? Is it going to to take days

Everything is working again.

I have to think I'm either missing the meaning of everything or working.
esp when I look on packages.debian.org, which I would intuitively refer
to as the debian archive.

Does this mean everything is correctly under construction? -- and
I needn't worry about anything I cannot make sense of? (Things
will only get better now..) I certainly feel I'm being wedged into
the same corner as when I got security urgency=high updates before
security.debian.org was taken off line and an announcement that
debian.org was compromised. (Compulsion to audit _everything_.)  But I
did later learn that all that coincided with r2 (the new packages wern't
urgent and all the urgent packages where old updates), and therefore
I was current and safe through it, even though I didn't get an r2
announcement, or timely supplementary info. Maybe my nerves would have
been calmer if I was following IRC, where I guess the news was?

Hey, what happened, happened. My point is that even if there was no
more information or more timely distribution of technical facts, more
verbosity as to threat assessment, hypothesis and conclusion, would
have made a world of difference for the humans depending on the debian
integrity; via third party website or otherwise.

If that can be accepted, then my second observation is the complete
lack of post mortem commentary of the forensics used. What percentage
of debian users know how to mount -oloop a dd image? What _is_ the next
step?  In the spirit of GNU/debian I would hope the technical leads
would have some volition to mentor less skilled admins on the techniques
used to unwind the messr. I haven't _looked_ for post mortem notes but
I'm surprised not to have so much as heard that they are around.
