Comment:

 Regarding the attached patch:

 1. `mirrors_sites` already has the new and old URL as of r148868
 1. The proposed livecheck does not seem for all ports
 1. Committed in r148976.

 About the livecheck:

 It seems to be a problem that sometimes JSON is returned instead of XML
 (case-sensitive? for example
 [https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=doap&name=abjad abjad] vs.
 [https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=doap&name=Abjad Abjad]). However,
 the proposed regex does not always work. For example, for the
 [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/diffoscope/json diffoscope] port, the JSON
 does not contain any "version:" key, so the regex does not match.

 Since the original issue of changed master_sites URLs has been resolved, I
 will close this ticket anyway.
