Hi, As up2date does not support url's of yum or apt repositories that contain the well-known "user:passord@host" format for repositories that need authentication (because Python's urllib2 does not support this format), I have implemented this myself. Furtherore, the "user:password" is replaced by "USER:PASSWORD" (literally) at the places where it is displayed in the GUI. See also bugzilla bug (RFE) #125391. I will add my patch there later (after some cleanup) and hope that the up2date maintainers pick it up and modify and/or enhance it as far as needed.
