mirror.list defaults to edgy on feisty

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Binary package hint: apt-mirror

After installing apt-mirror on feisty, the /etc/apt/mirror.list contains references to edgy, not feisty, so when a user starts apt-mirror they will end up mirroring the "wrong" (non current) version.

Even though feisty is pretty edgy, I'd indeed call this a bug.

[Brandon Holtsclaw (imbrandon)]

hrm indeed, this was originaly planned to always default to the latest development release but unlike debian where i can put "sid" or "unstable" as the dist, I'll likely do some lsb_release magic for apt-mirror_0.4.4+debian-3 ( -2 is the current version that is getting backported to all supported releases )

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

How is the progress of this bug? "lsb_release -cs" would result in the right code name (like karmic) that could be used.
