Hm, given that the naming scheme will be used on many servers for a long time, I'll humbly express my personal preference for just "jigdo/", not "jigdo-area/". (Not that it really matters...) > > o as a mirror site, do i have to do anything special to support > > end users using jigdo ? No; jigdo is designed to work over plain HTTP/FTP. Actually, in the long run its aim is to make CD mirrors unnecessary; I hope that the jigdo files are going to distributed as a part of the regular Debian mirror one day. > You should probably make sure that the jigdo files refer to your > server for the templates (is there a jigdo-mirror script that does > something along these lines?) Doing that is hacky - IMHO it's only acceptable as a workaround. The real solution is to allow template URLs which are relative to the .jigdo URL, i.e. the jigdo file contains just "Template=image.template" and when you tell jigdo-lite to fetch "http://foo/image.jigdo";, it'll create a template URL of "http://foo/image.template";. The forthcoming jigdo 0.6.6 release will output relative template URLs by default, and jigdo-lite/mirror will recognize them. However, Phil, I'd prefer it if you did not upgrade to 0.6.6 on cdimage, because: - it contains 1000 new/changed lines of code, which might contain new bugs. Now, immediately before the release, we should play safe... - if you make it output relative URLs, I will get killed by Anne, because this makes the jigdo files incompatible with jigdo-easy. :-) Anne [CCd], it'd be great if you could add support for it, though! > > o as a mirror, do i keep ISO images around anymore ? If you have the space/bandwidth, please keep them. Some people simply prefer direct downloads, others cannot get jigdo to work or find it too complicated, etc...
