mishandled private git+ssh repo url
Metadata
Current evaluation
Launchpad git+ssh URL mangling was fixed in craft-parts 1.19.1, but the confirmed open request now targets an unimplemented warning for git:// sources rejected by Launchpad builders.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The reported git+ssh mangling was fixed upstream in craft-parts 1.19.1 by craft-parts#408 (e442172e), and Snapcraft later moved beyond that dependency. However, mr-cal explicitly marked the issue confirmed and re-scoped it to warning about git:// sources on Launchpad; the current linter registry has no such rule. Keep it open for that unimplemented diagnostic.

close not a bug | Snapcraft 7.2.8 treats a git+ssh:// source URL as a local file path when cloning a private Launchpad repo, so git clone fails. No maintainer response in over 3 years; the pip-style scheme is invalid for git, which only accepts ssh:// or user@host:path forms. | |
