[Devel] [issue385] Change tracker_name regex in urls.py for the /customs/ URLs to allow anything except /

[Jack Grigg]

New submission from Jack Grigg <me at jackgrigg.com>:

During the migrations from the asynchronous importer code, for some reason South
complained about duplicates. So paulproteus got past it by appending ' (dup)' to
the tracker_name field (which needed to be unique). That was fine, but the
tracker_name regex in urls.py only allowed wordss separated by a space or
hyphen, so /customs/ is now broken. This patch opens up the tracker_url regex to
allow anything except a / (so the regex is '[^/]+'):

This is not particularly nice. What I would really like to do is limit what
users can enter into this field. Or maybe use an auto-generated slug instead,
and then error back to the user when they try to enter a tracker_name that will
generate a slug that already exists. Actually, we should do both; the slug makes
the URLs nice for copy and paste (no spaces), and the limit on characters makes
auto-generated project names simpler.
