Is there any more current information than what can be found here?:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2006/01/msg00035.html

That report is dated 8 January 2006 and it's now 3 February 2006.
Nothing has changed. The site is still down.

I think that's some sort of record for web sites I've visited. :-)

In the above referenced email I read:

"packages.debian.org was disabled because the load of the machine
hosting it, saens.debian.org, which also is our only ftp.debian.org
at the moment, rose to 141.32, 135.82, 135.71, as on January 4th, due
to amongst others a cron job from packages.debian.org started in 2005
still running -- and probably more. packages.debian.org was already
very slow for days, as multiple people noticed on IRC."

What type of cron job could have that been (he didn't say)? And is
it *still* running?

And what does "and probably more mean"?

This all rather odd.

Again, I don'' recall a web server out of commission this long
unless it was permanent.

In other words, what's the status now? What are the problems that
prevent it from being back online? And lastly, is there any remote
estimate as to when it will be back up?

Thanks. :)

Curiously,

Try http://pdo.debian.net I seen this on http://planet.debian.net/
which seems like a rather strange place to be mentioned.
