Story #2763

Updated by mihai.ibanescu@gmail.com over 7 years ago

As a user, I should be able to specify a URL to a feed, that looks somewhat similar to an entry in the apt sources.list file. 

 There: 

 <pre> 
 deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted 
 </pre> 

 This instructs apt to fetch deb packages from the trusty-security dist, from teh main and restricted components. 

 I would expect the feed URL to be: 

 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu 

 For now, the plugin is hardcoded to handle just stable as a dist, because that's the only thing it can produce. Ticket #2765 will This ticket is not trying to address that. At that point, we will need the feed configuration to include lists of dists and components under each dist, and presumably a group-like unit type that can record the dist/component for each unit that got synced, so we can publish it meaningfully. 

 Currently, in order to make the sync work, the URL is expected to be: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/stable
