Remove inactive Mirrors to Colombia

[Alexander Bejarano]

Hallo,

Our mirror at the mirror.upb.edu.co is being hosted any longer but it is still showing up on the "Software & Updates" application. Could you please remove it? The server is already removed from this list https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors in the Colombia section.

Thanks a lot.

Present on bionic (18.04)

- Open "Software & Updates"

- Click on Tab "Ubuntu Software"

- On the section "Download from" --> click "Other" --> click "Colombia"

The application you see this in, software-properties, uses /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors as the source of information for the available mirrors. In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, with python-apt version 2.0.0, I do not see "mirror.upb.edu.com", however I do see that in 18.04 LTS. We'll target this for fixing in our next upload of python-apt for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Brian,

The server are: "mirror.upb.edu.co"

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Right, I made a typo.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

We do not update mirror lists on their own, except for point releases, and as part of other updates (the python-apt release process automatically triggers mirror list updates, so this bug won't be updated).

[Jhosman Lizarazo (jhosman)]

Hello Julian And Brian

All versions of Ubuntu are affected.

they should only appear:

mirror.unimagdalena.edu.co
co.archive.ubuntu.com

You can see log of status in: https://status.ubuntu-co.com/

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

I don't think it's worth tracking this. There are a ton of mirror changes on a daily basis, and we can't update the python-apt package that often.

Releases that will get a point release should get a python-apt update for that.

Other releases will get the mirror update together with a regular update.

FWIW, a regular update is in the unapproved queue for all releases.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

My goal for future releases is to shift that info out of the python-apt package and into the -updates pocket of the archive, so that the mirror list is updated as part of apt update.
