snapshot.d.o has been in a bad state for several months



Hi,

snapshot.debian.org is getting worse again. There is not a single snapshot for
August yet and the last days of July are spotty:

http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/?year=2023&month=7

None for the 29. and only a single timestamp for the 26., 27., 28. and 30.
There should be four per day. The situation is even worse for other archives.
For debian-ports, for the month of July, there are only 22 snapshots overall:

http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/?year=2023&month=7

This problem has been known for half a year already:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031628

But that bug got closed in favor of #1029744 which was filed because
debian-ports had no snapshots at all for January and only three for February
this year but there is no reply to that bug.

In #1031628 Julien said that there is "not much we can do about it at the
moment".

What is the status of this problem? What is needed to fix it? Is this just a
problem of computational and/or storage resources which an be fixed by the
funds available to Debian?

I'd argue that snapshot.d.o is part of the central services Debian provides and
it should work better than it does right now.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
