Package: snapshot.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: a11y Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to download .dsc files for many packages using the Python requests module with delays and retries. After some requests, the server returns Error 500 internal Server error. I do that because I am trying to analyze Debian C projects using sbuild (with some hooks that run static analysis tools). To do so, I use sbuild [1] to build and analyze Debian C packages. I want to be able to analyze any package version of a package. Hence, I give .dsc files to sbuild as an argument. I use snapshot.debian.org to download those files. For example, for analyzing zlib (version 1.2.11.dfsg-2) I download it's .dsc file from this URL [2]. I use snapshot.debian.org because it provides all versions of each package with convenient URLs (https://snapshot.debian.org/package/package_name/package_version/), whereas other websites have more complex URL schemes.
