/me promises to re-start jigdoofus soon. One of the original ideas behind that was to allow mirrors to server as bt seeds using jigdo as a backend.

That should be simple enough now that all the clients in stable will support bzip2, I assume. * Start using sha1/256 internally as well as/instead of md5sum, or at least for the whole-image checksums. Md5sum is looking weak these days. Thoughts? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I've only once written 'SQL is my bitch' in a comment.
