[Bug 1308441] Re: /usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader/mirrors.cfg contains outdated entries

[Brian Murray]

The release-upgrader downloads a tarball from a url like
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/dist-upgrader-
all/current/ depending on what release you are upgrading to.  That
tarball includes a new version of mirrors.cfg which is used by the
release upgrader.  I checked that though and ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net is
not listed there, however running "update_mirrors.py" in the ubuntu-
release-upgrader source branch does update mirrors.cfg to include that
server. So the next upload of ubuntu-release-upgrader should add that
server.

Having said that the code in update_mirrors.py does not remove any
entries from mirrors.cfg as far as I can tell which seems somewhat short
sighted.
