You might need to track the iso and img as separate things. But updates to the newer iso or img are just a delta. If iso or NAND-formatted img files were rsync-friendly, this wouldn't be needed. In any case, we can do the technical part alright. We're good at this. The social part is more of a puzzle. Jigdo adds a step and a tool to the process and for some reason that puts people off. The snarky analysis would be: - repeated large downloads are annoying enough to complain - but not enough to use a new tool which is blatantly incomplete. The real thing is that using jigdo depends on jigdo being part of the everyday geek arsenal. It's not, and that's a huge barrier. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
