Yes. It's OK for Thomas's cron jobs:

 * the testing material are now generated by
       /srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/gen-testing2
   and /srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/gen-testing.cfg2
   in /srv/dl10n-stuff/www/testing/
   available on http://i18n.debian.net/material/testing/

=> you can backup and remove /srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/gen-testing and
/srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/gen-testing.cfg
   I will later move gen-testing2 and gen-testing.cfg2 and update the
   cron job.

 * The NMU script is also running
   /srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/nmu-update
   result on /org/dl10n-stuff/www-debian-l10n/l10n-nmu/
   logs on /org/dl10n-stuff/log/dl10n-nmu.cron.*
   available on http://i18n.debian.net/debian-l10n/l10n-nmu/


More work will be needed to fully move to the SVN version for the spider
scripts:

I would like to inform the user language teams since the results are not
exactly the same.
Some DONE mails will have to be sent for old files or I can automatically
close the threads older than 3 years.

You can have a look on
http://i18n.debian.net/~nekral/www-debian-l10n/portuguese/pt.by_date.html

(It's currently generated by
    /srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/spiderhourly2
and /srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/spiderbts2
with the result and logs on my home directory)

You can proceed with the crontab (maybe with a backup).

I don't really know how Thomas used this repository.
I guess it was only useful for debugging purpose and because of the LDAP
BTS interface (he mentioned that sometimes every bugs are marked as
closed). I would prefer to fix the bugs and use the SOAP interface which
seems more supported by the debbugs people.

I was able to recreate the full database in a few hours, and I would
propose to stick with backups and a way to restore the database rather
than storing the database on a repository.

The databases can be re-created from scratch with
/srv/dl10n-stuff/bin/spiderinit
