Package: jigdo-file Version: 0.8.0-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, Jigdo version is now 0.8.0.1 for bullseye testing and 0.7.3.5 for buster stable. We can use jigdo for downloading ISOs from the servers and it works fine for both versions. The problem with version 0.8.0.1 is when we want to make ISOs from a previous (bigger) image. For a precise example we have a big BD ISO image : debian-10.7.0-amd64-BD-1.iso, mounted on /media/user/ (or /mnt/cdrom/). >From that big one, we want to make up the 5 first DVD ISOs debian-10.7.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso to debian-10.7.0-amd64-DVD-5.iso. With Jigdo 0.7.3.5 everything works perfectly fine. Jigdo reads the big mounted BD-1 image. It writes a "jigdo-file-cache.db" cache info data file at the first reading of the BD-1 image, so that it does not need to re-read BD-1 next times. So the making up of DVD-2 to DVD-5 is very quick. Of course Jigdo finds everything it needs in BD-1 to make DVD-1 to DVD-5, without having to connect to the servers (Internet). And that is the point (what we want), to be able to do that, in case we don't have access to Internet. But with Jigdo 0.8.0.1 : - First jigdo does not even seem to re-use the jigdo-file-cache.db (by the way twice bigger with 0.8.0.1 than with 0.7.3.5) it has created the first time. So Jigdo has to read and analyse BD-1 all over again every time. And it is very, but veeeery long, as it seems the checking method (for every *.deb file) is different with Jigdo 0.8.0.1. - And second, jigdo fails to recognize some existing files in BD-1. For instance, DVD-1 and 2 are fine but for DVD-3 Jigdo fails to fetch /pool/contrib/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcutter_019-4+deb10u1_amd64.deb in BD-1 and has to fetch it on the servers. For DVD-4 Jigdo fails to fetch /pool/contrib/a/alsa-tools/alsa-firmware-loaders_1.1.7-1_amd64.deb. I did not try DVD-5 (so irritatingly slow!) but from a previous try that I made two months ago, I think I remember there were more than one *.deb file missing. So these little bugs are very saddening because Jigdo is such a beautiful and useful tool. This little guy can really do a great job and I wish it would be on DVD-1, regardless of actual usage statistics.
