Add NZ mirror "ihug" to the "other mirrors" list

[Aaron Whitehouse]

If I click System > Administration > Software Sources > Download From > Other

It doesn't have New Zealand > ihug
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/nz2.archive.ubuntu.com-archive
(and it therefore isn't searched in the "Select best mirror")

It would be good for this to be on that list, as some people have difficulty reaching the official NZ mirror.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in software-properties.

Also add Australia Telstra Bigpond mirror:

If you found this bug report and you'd like to add your own mirror, you can modify /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors

[Onno Benschop (onno-itmaze)]

The mirror list is owned by python-apt -- so I'm reassigning this.

/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors

nz2.archive.ubuntu.com is listed as of jaunty. Closing bug.

[Onno Benschop (onno-itmaze)]

Just like to note that I had added an Australian mirror to this bug report and that mirror is not in python-apt 0.7.9~exp2ubuntu7

So, unless you want me to open a separate bug, I'm marking this bug as New again.

[Jonathan Davies (jpds)]

Your mirror has been added to the list as of the 0.7.9~exp2ubuntu10 version of the package in Jaunty.

Thank you for mirroring Ubuntu!

[Onno Benschop (onno-itmaze)]

Telstra BigPond has now changed the location of the mirror.

It was at:
  http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/

It is now at:
  http://mirror.files.bigpond.com/ubuntu/

[Onno Benschop (onno-itmaze)]

The version 0.7.9~exp2ubuntu10 does *not* contain the Telstra Bigpond mirror, just the New Zealand ihug mirror. Marking this bug as fix-released.

After discussion with jpds, I'll register the mirror on the official list and when that is completed I'll add a new wishlist bug to request that the Telstra Bigpond mirror be added.
