python-apt should be more permissive on url checking. in fact, it currently marks as invalid every url with NUMBERS in it. for example http://mirror.3fl.net.au/ubuntu/ http://mirror2.etf.bg.ac.yu/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu-archive/ are not available in the server list.
moreover, every server listening on a custom port is marked as invalid. This could lead to some trouble when working with apt-cacher. proposed patch: 132c132 < match_mirror_line = re.compile(r"^(#LOC:.+)|(((http)|(ftp)|(rsync)|(file)|(https))://[A-Za-z0-9@/\.:\-_]+)$") --- > match_mirror_line = > re.compile(r"^(#LOC:.+)|(((http)|(ftp)|(rsync)|(file)|(https))://[A-Za-z/\.:\-_]+)$") -- python-apt should accept '@' in mirror adresses https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
