My guess is vendor. I havent tested without it. Please add a bug to the
_swup_ tracker on sourceforge.

It can, but will copy the rpms off the other site. We should have added a
partial download scheme that only downloads the headers of the rpms, but
I haven't the time as of now. Maybe someone else? :)

I will disregard that last one, only because I know I sometimes can be a
bit hars on you... :)

And it _has_ newlines between different sites on my (up to date) box:

Fetching upgrade info
'http://www.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/releases/trustix-2.0/i586/Trustix/rdfs/=
latest.rdf'
Parsing file: latest.rdf - done
Fetching upgrade info
'ftp://www.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/releases/trustix-2.0/i586/Trustix/rdfs/l=
atest.rdf'
Parsing file: latest.rdf - done

Your system is up to date.


Might you have a faulty terminal setup?
