Just go ahead and remove the directory - jigdo downloads should not be affected by this. jigdo-file is told to scan through a snapshot of the entire FTP archive during .jigdo generation, so once you've removed the dir, any future jigdo generation will simply no longer pick up the files which were deleted, and those files' data will end up in the .templates. As for the _current_ .jigdo/.template files, they won't break because of the "fallback" server on raff, which holds backup copies of the files: After jigdo-lite has unsuccessfully tried to fetch them from the server selected by the user, it'll try raff next. [There is a built-in limit in jigdo-lite: If more than 30% of files cannot be found on the primary server, jigdo-lite will fail with an error. However, the "package-developer" files only account for 3% of the files for CD 1, so no problem.] HTH, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | CS student at the Technische | GnuPG key: | \/�| http://atterer.net | Universit�t M�nchen, Germany | 0x888354F7 � '` �
