Cannot edit a mirror when its ID is a substring of another
We have a at mirror.fcix.net, back then I used fcix.net as ID.
Now they sponsor more mirrors, for instance in paducahix.mm.fcix.net. I wanted to edit the first mirror name to mirror.fcix.net, except that I get:
$ mb edit fcix.net
Multiple match:
uvermont.mm.fcix.net
ziply.mm.fcix.net
abqix.mm.fcix.net
fcix.net
paducahix.mm.fcix.net
forksystems.mm.fcix.net
lesnet.mm.fcix.net
The command usage does not give more info on the format. Hoping it would be some kind of regexp, I even tried "^fcix.net" to no avail. Basically so far, it looks like it's impossible to edit a mirror whose ID is a substring of another. Or if it is, it's well hidden! 🙈
That's a bug, indeed.
For the record, the "solution" I came up with back then to be able to rename the first mirror was to temporarily rename all the subdomain mirrors (adding a typo on purpose for instance) so that they don't share the common fcix.net base anymore. Then I renamed the first mirror, and finally I fixed the name of all the other mirrors. 😅
A bit painful, but doable. Of course a fix would be welcome eventually. ;-)
