Well, rsync isn't really /that/ useful for jigdo/template files because the data of those files is compressed in an rsync-unfriendly way with zlib... wget's mirror functionality isn't great. You could try lftp instead, it can omit the HTML files and also delete old files: lftp -c 'open http://foo.com/bar/; mirror --verbose --delete . /tmp/bar' 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".

They were removed from our list 1.5 months ago due to a number of complaints like yours. Recently, they claimed to have reorganized their business and to have started shipping CDs again...

Re: can't jigdo iso with rockridge

It's not surprising that the checks built into "make-image" then later regard the template as invalid. :( Hm - "-r" is likely to introduce longer runs of zeroes in the image because it zeroes UIDs/GIDs... does one of the files in /home/sword/ftp/iso/latest/ maybe start with 4096 bytes or more of zeroes? To find the bug, it would be really nice if you could recompile jigdo with debugging support: ./configure --enable-debug make X=-DDEBUG_MKTEMPLATE Then re-run the jigdo-file command. It'll output quite a lot of debug info (mostly to stderr, so use "jigdo-file ... >log 2>&1), please send it to me privately. I'm rather busy, but I'll try to have a look at it.

Well, I was waiting for someone with more knowledge to answer this, but I /think/ that source-n will contain exactly the source code for the binaries on binary-n. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Not as convenient as just adding yet another rsync if you run a largish mirror at least. But that might not be the case here. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please correct me if I'm wrong. You're partially wrong. The sources files are added in the source CDs in same order as the packages are added in the binary CD but a number of facts will do that the match will never be very good : - for the binary packages we take care to include dependencies before the package itself => the order of the list is completely changed and thus there's no match between the order of inclusion of binary packages and the order of inclusion of source packages - the source package may take more/less space than the binary packages and you can't be sure that all sources for a single binary CD will fit on a single CD If you don't want to give away a full set of CD then you have to regenerate your own shrinked CD set to be sure that the match between binary packages and source packages is ok.

Or, in the case of giving away several copies of binary CD1, with the required offer of GPL source, I have to generate and keep the entire source set for three years. (Doing so is less labor than figuraing out exactly what sources I need.) Anyone giving the CD to a freind has the same obligation.

I believe you would only need to give away source CDs 1 and 2, at least for woody, as the code that creates the CD images puts the source packages in the same order they are added to the binary CDs. You may want to verify this manually, though. (I know this is the case for the CDs I make, but I use a different script to create the images.) Alternatively, you could give away the LordSutch.com mini-ISO image; the complete source will burn on a single CD. However, it's not a very complete installation (no X, for example).

additional images you can download
you can download them off a P2P network such as kazaa and search for "woody-i386-1.iso". I would share out and I think many others would too.
