- Fix '-P package-with-only-a-test-version'
- De-clutter the mirror selection listbox
Where a mirror site supports multiple protocols (e.g ftp, http,
https), don't show URLs for that site which are flagged as redundant
in the mirror list, unless that URL has already been selected on a
previous run.
I used to retrieve updates from http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de mainly
because I am using a http proxy for package caching.
With 2.918 and before on each setup run I had to select
http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de manually, because
https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de was always selected by default. My
selection was never persisted. No big deal.
But with 2.919 http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de isn't selectable anymore.
Now I need to add it manually on each setup run, because it does not
stay in the list. Thats really inconvenient.
This doesn't match your explanation above. Please have a look!
Yes, the behaviour described can only really be seen for ftp:// URLs,
because some other part of the code upgrades http:// URLs for a previous
run to https://
I don't really want to stop doing that, so I'm not sure what to do about
this.
It's been suggested that we add an option to turn that upgrading off
(e.g see discussion ending at [1]), but if you are going to use an
option every time you run setup, in your case you might as well add "-O
--site http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de"; ?
