"The snapshot archive is a wayback machine that allows access to old packages based on dates and version numbers. It consists of all past and current packages the Debian archive provides."
For example, when you have been fucked by new versions of an nvidia driver, this is where to look. (535.247.01-1 ftw)
Interesting, is this project something recent as to something which deserved a new HN post
or is this project somewhat old and you just wanted to share it
Because I respect both but I am unable to find when the project was created. Overall, I find it really cool. Does alpine have something similar to it too?
As an official service it has been around since 2010, and before that it was around as snapshot.debian.net in 2005, and the data was carried over into snapshot.debian.org.
