Well, that's just the way jigdo works, no problem. :) > But I was wondering why I can't build a cd-image directly from my local > mirror here, but if there are some (13?) packages that are not present in > Debians main-archive that is the solution.

You're right, everything would feel much cleaner if only a normal Debian mirror were needed. Actually, one day I'd like there to be a "jigdo fallback directory" on every Debian FTP server (and ideally also a directory containing the .jigdo and .template files), so each mirror would be self-contained WRT CD downloading. BTW, if you look closely, the changed files do *not* include any packages, just "less important" stuff like documentation, READMEs etc. Greetings from Munich, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | CS student at the Technische | GnuPG key: | \/�| http://atterer.net | Universit�t M�nchen, Germany | 0x888354F7 � '` �
