Hi all, as someone maybe remeber, I'm working ona GIO-tool for the jigdo-downlaod for windows-user. now, after the official jigdo-files are out, I have some problems:
--> while I was programming the tool, I've worked with an experimental .jigdo-file that downloads the boot.iso from beta3 - with that file my tool worked fine. --> but with the 5-cd-version of the complete OOS-release I have this proplems: ---> naming the image-files the files that will be created with the jigdo-stuff will be named without "-cd1.iso", "-cd2.iso" etc. the name of an created file ends after "GM". ---> deleting existing files this brings also up the next error, that tells the user that the file that he will downlaod and create already exists (remember: the filenames of the ISOs are till "GM" allways the same; they differ only with the "cd1", "cd2" etc, but that is missing !). the jigdo-stuff tells the user he should delete the file or should use the parameter "--force" to overwrite it will the new download. both are bad for users that don#t have any skills, and don't now that they should rename the imagefile after it is created. so, my questions are (to someone here on the list how knows a little bit of jido): - is there a parameter on the commandline with witch I can tell jigdo witch of the 5 ISO-files in a .jigdo-file I want to download, so that there is no need to ask the user interactive for that number ? - is there a parameter on the commandline I can use to tell jigdo the name of the resultung imagename it should use ? [I've tweaked this already for an .jido-file that contains only a single iso-image to download / create with a "hacked" jigdo-lite-scriptfile, but that doesn't work with .jido- files with more than one iso-image] - why does jigdo works on a windows-machine only when I use the "jigdo-lite.bat"-batchfile ? I've tryed to do the same what the batchfile does with my tool internal, but windows allways complains about missing program "sh", even if I set the path to the jigdo-bin-folder as the batchfile does. - while asuming that the both parameters as asked above aren#t there I've tryed to make a copy of the .jido-file for every iso-file in the "[Image]"-section of the file. is that a "save" way to make for every iso-file a new .jido-file that hold the long list of files in the "[Part]"- section ? or should every .jigdo-file only contain the files in that "[Part]"-list that is realy part of the resulting iso-file ? as the server download.opensuse.org and ftp.gdwg.de are *allways* to bussy, I think it will be better to put both server not as the first entrys in the "[Server]"-section because the download speed is terible. it would be better to put them to the end of the list after all mirrors. Ok, I hope someone here on the list can help me - I've made my GUI-tool with the help of "real windows users" with no deeper skills into IT, and all of them would realy like to downlaod, install & use openSUSE, so I think there is realy the need of a tool to get jigdo working for them. best regards from berlin, JBScout aka tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
