Hii All,

i have an application that is managing repositories. users can add repository url and before save this url, i want to valide that url is valid debian repository url or not.

how can achive this.

Thanks

is there a regular expression for this ?

I think what you are asking for is a keyring. something like the debian-archive-keyring created with gnupg.

there is a input box and users writing their repository url to this input box like deb ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free and pressing save button. i am saving that url to sourceslist but user also can write any url and i am saving to sourceslist.

i want to give a warning to user this url is not a debian repository url if user write inapplicable url like "http://www.linuxquestions.org/"

i dont know how is working debian-archive-keyring. i will search it. if you know how is working can you give me a sample ?

Thanks for your reply
