Comment(by karsten):

 The scripts are [https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-db.git here].  The
 config file should contain these two lines:

 {{{
 DownloadRelayDescriptors 1
 WriteDirectoryArchives 1
 }}}

 `./run.sh` starts the download.  There should be an hourly cronjob calling
 this script, e.g., at *:05.

 I just started setting this up on lemmonii using my user name.  I need
 `javac`, `java`, and `ant` to run this.  Can you please install the
 required packages (should be `openjdk-6-jdk`, but I'm not sure)?
