New Mozilla apt repo does not work with apt-mirror

[lazywebm]

Tried setting up a mirror for the new Mozilla apt repo following their recent announcement [1], but it's failing with an error. The problem seems to be a trailing slash being added to the repo URL.

Config:

deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main

Error:

Processing indexes: [PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPapt-mirror: can't open index packages.mozilla.org/apt//dists/mozilla/main/binary-amd64/Packages in process_index at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 864.

Tried with with the last official release (v0.5.4) installed via apt on Debian stable, as well as the drop-in replacement from the master branch here, as of 2024-01-25.

This is because of 76bd728
The comment states I cannot find a single repository serving the uncompressed index files, so we found one :-)

I fixed this in the apt-mirror2

Ah, thanks for the hint. I've manually reverted 76bd728 on my system, which works too.

Following up on my comment from my comment above, the manual revert did not fix the issue. Doing an "apt update" on a system where I added my Mozilla repo mirror yields this error:

@lazywebm
This is another issue which is not specific for Mozilla repo, but exists for all repos.
It's architectural problem which can not be easy fixed in the apt-mirror AFAIK.

It's fixed in the apt-mirror2 which controls repository consistency.

Thanks for pointing that out, made it work with apt-mirror2.
