Package: snapshot.debian.org Severity: wishlist The start page says, currently:
If you want to add a specific date's archive to your apt sources.list simply add an entry like these: deb [155]http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20091004T111800Z/ lenny main We can have lines like the following now, though: deb [check-valid-until=no] http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150921T092814Z sid main Please add this example, and the minimum APT version required to use it, there as well. Additionally, do so for the package pages while fixing #650783 (pretty please do that!). That only leaves us with the problems of expired keys, but that is already discussed in #763419 AFAICT. (That one is especially important for things like etch where I can install the base sy‐ stem but not the security updates because the key for *those*’s already expired now.
