Hello,
Personally, I modified the /usr/bin/debmirror script:
sed -i 's#$remoteroot/#$remoteroot#g' /usr/bin/debmirror
sed -i 's#${remoteroot}/#${remoteroot}#g' /usr/bin/debmirror
sed -i '/^$remoteroot =~.*/i $remoteroot =~ s|/?$|/| ;' /usr/bin/debmirror
For some explanation, if you want to understand, I'm just including the final
'/' inside the $remoteroot variable, and adding it automatically if it wasn't
at the end of the string ( "ubuntu" became "ubuntu/"). If the variable is
empty, the line 793 "$remoteroot =~ s%^[:/]%% unless downloads_via_file();"
will remove my extra "/" ("" => "/" => "").
I don't know if it's the best way to do this in perl, but it does the work. In
case it can help / save time to somebody.
I'm not proposing a pull request because I don't know how package management
works and don't want to do something wrong.
