Package: debmirror Version: 1:2.10 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Debmirror fails to connect, when trying to sync from a HTTP mirror, that needs authentication (implementented via .htaccess for example). I guess the Debian KDE Team isn't the only group, that uses repositories, that requiere authentication, for testing purposes.
However, this can easily be fixed by using the exisiting --user --passwd paramaters. Applying this little patch and updating the documentation/manpages should fix this issue. ---patch--- $ diff /var/tmp/debmirror_orig /usr/bin/debmirror 1578c1578,1583 < my $url="http://${host}/${remoteroot}/${file}";; --- > my $url = ''; > if ($user eq 'anonymous'){ > $url="http://${host}/${remoteroot}/${file}";; > } else { > $url="http://${user}:${passwd}\@${host}/${remoteroot}/${file}";; > } ------ Best regards -- eshat cakar web: www.eshat.de gpg-id: 799B 95D5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
