Finally the ftp protocol is not secure (not encrypted, which exposes it to interceptions or attacks), and does not have any good maintenance in the so= urce code. To this end, I think it would be nice to be able to no longer support the f= tp protocol in the ports or at least to add an option to dynamically convert an ftp MASTER_SITES url to http/https for fetch because most of the repositori= es used in the "MASTER_SITES" also support http and https. In fact, it is rare to have an ftp only repository. Thanks. Loic --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
