Re: packages search results
Haha cute... Now the ftp links are all http. I guess that's cool. http is
generally better...
seems like you could just add a type flag to the server entry and change the
protocol that way. or write a regexp that checks for
/^ftp/ and change the protocol that way (which is a hack)
I guess it doesn't matter really but it might be misleading for people that
copy and paste the link into a ftp program. This way you won't have to
remove the ftp only links either.
