Yes, but when someone uses jigdo-mirror, the names would be just e.g. /pub/debian-cd/i386/woody-1.iso, without a 3.0r0 dir. The same thing happens if they mirror the jigdo files by mirroring cdimage/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/. > there is already enough metadata in the path to let people know that > the files in the directory are iso images for woody for the i386 > arch, so i prefer the naming scheme we used to have of > binary-i386-1.iso and so on. I prefer the longer name because it makes it easy for people to remember where that .iso file on their harddisc came from. Just "binary-1.iso" isn't very helpful. Additionally, people who download images for >1 arches will appreciate the change. I guess you can't please everybody. :) > i think something similar for jigdo would make sense, e.g > > /pub/debian-cd/jigdo-area/3.0r0/i386/<files> > /pub/debian-cd/jigdo-area/3.0r1/i386/<files> That's possible, but doesn't solve the problem that mirroring cdimage/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/ doesn't create a "3.0r0" directory on the mirror. That way, there's no way for somebody to tell which version of Debian the jigdo files are for.
