I see you worked that out, and you're correct. The point being that there is no non-US content in the NONUS jigdo files, so they can be published in the US. It's only when you come to reassemble them that you need to go to the non-us sites for the packages. > > I've not signed these off yet, and won't be able to until tomorrow, > > but I'm pretty confident that they're OK, so unless someone points out > > a flaw in the next 24 hours, these are going to be the released > > images. > > i've started mirroring the jigdo files and will start creating the iso > images using jigdo lite and then rsyncing against open iso images. > > one query, why are files created into debian-jigdo/3.0_r1/jigdo/ ? > on our server we have /pub/debian-cd/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/<architecture> > but am i missing something ? The reason is, that on the master sites there is a directory at the same level as the jigdo directory that you are wondering about, called "snapshot" which contains a snapshot of the files required to build the jigdos, so that if some file on the main archive changes, there will always be a copy of it available. Obviously, there's not much point rsyncing the snapshot, so I've set up a copy of the 3.0_r1 directory with that missing, but it seemed to make sense to keep the structure the same. You can see what I'm on about here: http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/ http://non-us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/ Cheers, Phil.
