Hello, just FYI: There's a problem with the handling of fallback servers in 0.6.2's jigdo-lite. Anybody who wants to *create* jigdo files that use the feature should read on. Other people need not worry.
The gory details: For files that *disappear* from the mirror, everything is fine and jigdo-lite tries the fallback server after the failed download. However, for files that *changed* on the mirror, it doesn't realize it should try the fallback server. Unfortunately, the problem cannot be fixed easily - a quick fix would be possible, but it would be too much of a hack IMHO. So my plan is to actually leave this unfixed for the moment. :-/ Thus, people who want to offer Debian CD images via jigdo should exclude certain files from being scanned, so that those files end up in the template. I recommend something like: find /my/mirror// -type f \ | egrep -v '/Contents|/Packages|/README|INDEX$|/Maintainers|/Release$|/debian-keyring\.tar\.gz$|/ls-lR|//doc/[^/]+/?[^/]*\.(txt|html)$' \ | jigdo-file --files-from=- ... Many thanks to Attila Nagy and Thomas Arnold for their help and comments! As some people may have noticed, Attila has set up a fallback server on fsn.hu - other creators of jigdo files can also reference it in their .jigdo files: [Servers] MD5Sum=ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/debian-superseded/ Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | CS student at the Technische | GnuPG key: | \/¯| http://atterer.net | Universität München, Germany | 0x888354F7 ¯ '` ¯ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
