Ok.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah, but if we manage to borrow a nice temporary server for release, we
should be able to have all online within 4 hours of getting the jigdo
files. Note the "if" though.

This seems to be a truncated paragraph.

Ok, because what I need to sync is the jigdo files and templates and then
I could probably manage to build them fine (there should be no need for
fallback if I build them the same day).

Yeah, that seems resonable. I'd like to say that we could have a snapshot
mirror over here, but we have scalability concerns with the number of
inodes on our ftp server. Is there a script around to build a snapshot
given a release? (If you are a bit late and miss a few files, that is a
simple rsync to an existing snapshot location to fix..)

Yes, the default parameter "maxMissing=25" was too small in jigdo-mirror.
When I increased it, it worked fine. I managed to build a full set of the
pre2 images (except for alpha that is).

Richard: Have you made sure that it will never happen that
non-US/Contents-i386.gz and main/Contents-i386.gz will be downloaded in
the same fetch batch in jigdo-mirror? They have the same name, so wget
might overwrite or something. Just tell me that you have thought about it
and solved the problem. :)
