 Well, rsync isn't really /that/ useful for jigdo/template files
 because the data of those files is compressed in an rsync-unfriendly
 way with zlib...

But rsync is still a convenient way to mirror a directory structure.

 wget's mirror functionality isn't great. You could try lftp instead,
 it can omit the HTML files and also delete old files:

 lftp -c 'open http://foo.com/bar/; mirror --verbose --delete . /tmp/bar'

Sure, that works too. Not as convenient as just adding yet another rsync
if you run a largish mirror at least. But that might not be the case here.

 The debian-cd team has been busy with integrating d-i into their
 build scripts, and things are forming up.  We actually have bootable
 (but not installable) CD images.  Great work by the CD team.

 So what happens next?

 to do more thorough testing of sarge

 As always, help, ideas and comments are appreciated.

Here's an idea (maybe a bit late, but I just ran into the problem
today): since the snapshot Sarge CDs are made available through Jigdo
(which is a great idea), and since they are meant to have as large an
audience as possible, would you make the appropriate files (*.jigdo
and *.template) available through anonymous rsync?  I had to wget -r
to get them, and that gives me lots of unneeded files (HTML stuff
mostly).  And it's hard to keep up-to-date.
