Package: extrepo
Version: 0.15
Severity: wishlist
`man 5 sources.list` documents the spelling for the host as "URIs" but extrepo
uses "Uris".
While it works it would be nice if it matched the manpage and the more common
spelling.

This is an unfortunate side-effect of the fact that perl string
comparison is case-insensitive but the sources.list format is not. To
not break things, I have to do a "move everything lowercase" operation
for string comparison, and then have to revert that for which I use
"ucfirst", which only touches the first letter.
I could fix it properly, but it's just an aesthetic thing, and I don't
want to introduce the necessary complexity to do that.
If you feel very strongly about this, and you want to provide a patch
that doesn't massively increase complexity, I might consider that (in
which case, a merge request on
https://salsa.debian.org/extrepo-team/extrepo would be the correct way
to move forward).
I personally don't have any intention of doing this, so I'll be closing
this feature request as wontfix.
