Ah, I think you're right! Looking at Adam's list, a significant number of mirrors do not seem to have caught up with the changes, though. :-/ Can you provide a list of directory paths for the various image variants? IOW, if full images of single/dual-layer DVDs, netinst, business-card etc images are made available, where on the server will they appear, and where the corresponding .jigdo/.template files, if any? > >BTW, can you (or someone else) look over > ><http://www.debian.org/CD/mirroring/>?

IIRC it needed a list of files to download (similar to what is in a .jigdo file), and those lists have not been made available for a loong time. > Also, a pointer to http://www.acc.umu.se/~maswan/debian-push/cdimage/ > might be valuable, that uses jigdo-mirror and a bit of rsync [...] OK, I'll add a link. I think I will revamp the page. Here's what I think it should contain, comments are welcome: FTP/HTTP mirroring is discouraged --------------------------------- "discouraged" instead of the current "not suitable", which is too strong IMO. rsync is acceptable ------------------- With the new-style names, binary patching of subreleases is no longer possible because the leaf names change. So rsync does not have that much of an advantage over HTTP/FTP, except that it verifies file checksums etc. Can someone provide tested, working rsync commands? At a guess you'll want --archive, --block-size=8192 to increase the speed, possibly --partial in case a long transfer is interrupted... I'll play around with rsync to come up with working --include/--exclude switches for e.g. i386+source, only first 3 CDs etc. jigdo-mirror + rsync is recommended ----------------------------------- Link to your page. jigdo-mirror is recommended --------------------------- I'll leave that section mostly the same...
