[Bug 1780] Re: apt-spy does not have ubuntu mirror listing
It seems now that Ubuntu provides a mirror list through http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt. Is it enough to push back apt-spy in repository (with some modifications to retrieve the list of mirrors from this URL)? The only problem seems to be that mirros.ubuntu.com is regularly down. It seems there's also a port for Ubuntu wrote in Ruby available here: https://github.com/lagged/apt-spy2. Not packaged and doesn't know what it worths. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780 Title: apt-spy does not have ubuntu mirror listing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-spy/+bug/1780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1780] Re: apt-spy does not have ubuntu mirror listing
"I am working on several patches to apt-spy so that it can parse the ubuntu wiki page that has the package mirrors." It seems this idea has already been abandoned but I would just like to note that it seems incredibly insecure to grab apt sources from a wiki, even if a maliciously added repository wouldn't authenticate with pgp most users unfortunately ignore those errors and would install unathenticated packages anyways. -- apt-spy does not have ubuntu mirror listing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1780] Re: apt-spy does not have ubuntu mirror listing
Hi, I've been asking around if it's possible to get https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors/ as an easily parseble format, however didn't get a response yet. Until that's possible, I see two options: a) somehow parse the html output b) rewrite /var/lib/apt-spy/mirrors.txt in the package by hand. Anyone volunteering?
