Appears to be suitable. I did for a test on my Sid VM (roughly three months behind): mkdir ~/jigdo_test cd ~/jigdo_test wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/3.1_r8/m68k/jigdo-cd/debian-31r8-m68k-binary-1.jigdo wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/3.1_r8/m68k/jigdo-cd/debian-31r8-m68k-binary-1.template jigdo-lite My input to jigdo-lite were three lines: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/3.1_r8/m68k/jigdo-cd/debian-31r8-m68k-binary-1.jigdo http://archive.debian.org/ (The middle empty line shall represent my empty input to "Files to scan".) After about three minutes at german 50 Mbit/s DSL i see Finished! The fact that you got this far is a strong indication that `debian-31r8-m68k-binary-1.iso' was generated correctly. [...] [...] OK: MD5 Checksums match, image is good! WARNING: MD5 is not considered a secure hash! WARNING: It is recommended to verify your image in other ways too! So i do sha512sum debian-31r8-m68k-binary-1.iso which computes the same hex string that is recorded as first line in https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/3.1_r8/m68k/jigdo-cd/SHA512SUMS f912cb6d0a52098ecd836758d5bfd18e3089c768d345e05df0273c1441bdb462e8233b3642ec73e90d67f06c6b445ed410df19f97b535a365fad84bf4a181dbb debian-31r8-m68k-binary-1.iso (Mistrusting downloaders verify SHA512SUMS by gpg and SHA512SUMS.sign.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason for downloading .jidgo and .template by wget to the directory where jigdo-lite is run is the inability of older jigdo-lite versions to cope with https URLs. If the two files are already downloaded, they are used instead of downloading them again. Have a nice day :) Thomas
