You want the install image to remain as up-to-date as possible? OK. If
you want to use jigdo, your dependency is on the jigdo template.
Here's an example of how I would use jigdo for a CD image:
http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-cd/
- Install and run "jigdo-lite"
jigdo:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-cd/debian-testing-i386-CD-1.jigdo
Files to scan: {none}
Debian mirror: http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/
- This will download the ".jigdo" and ".template" files, which define
the set of packages required, and where in the CD image each is to sit
- It will then download the packages for the CD image one at a time,
and every so often will write those to the CD image defined by the
template file
Here's the "clever" part. Should you want to update the image you have
previously (part) built, you simply mount it as a loopback (file-based)
CD image, and reference its mountpoint in the "Files to scan" prompt
from jigdo-lite:
sudo mkdir /mnt/iso
sudo mount -o loop debian-testing-i386-CD-1.iso.tmp /mnt/iso
I should point out that I tend to jigdo only rarely, as my systems have
online access and I can run an "aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade"
pair immediately after a minimal installation. This also means I usually
only download the first CD rather than a full DVD set.

Now I wish there was a simpler way/command to do this. Mirroring a repository is one matter, and is fairly complicated. But if your need is simply to keep a set of CD/DVD images up to date, you really should be using jigdo (that is, jigdo-lite). Jigdo minimizes the load on the servers, and guarantees an accurate image. You can write a set of bash scripts to automate the jigdo process, and you even could run them via cron. Note that several instances of jigdo may run in parallel. RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi all, Disregard the above, re-read the mirroring page and this is what it should look like - rsync --times --links --hard-links --partial -archive -verbose -compress --block-size=8192 --exclude=source/ --exclude='*businesscard*.iso' --exclude='*netinst*.iso' --exclude=alpha/ --exclude=arm/ --exclude=hppa/ --exclude=hurd/ --exclude=ia64/ --exclude=m68k/ --exclude=mips/ --exclude=mipsel/ --exclude=powerpc/ --exclude=s390/ --exclude=sh/ --exclude=sparc/ --exclude=i386/ --include='*-dvd.iso' ftp.de.debian.org::debian-cd/ . or something like this.

Re: using jigdo or/and rsync to keep images freshen.
Hi all, Now reading through the whole thing it seems it should be something like this :- rsync -avzP --exclude=source/ --exclude='*businesscard*.iso' --exclude='*netinst*.iso' --exclude=alpha/ --exclude=arm/ --exclude=hppa/ --exclude=hurd/ --exclude=ia64/ --exclude=m68k/ --exclude=mips/ --exclude=mipsel/ --exclude=powerpc/ --exclude=s390/ --exclude=sh/ --exclude=sparc/ --exclude=i386/ --include='*-dvd.iso' ftp.de.debian.org::debian-cd/ . What is missing is how do I also exclude the 5.0.x series as well and only have live-current as the only download .

Re: using jigdo or/and rsync to keep images freshen.
Hi,
shirish शिरीष wrote:
I followed the discussion on the web. So from what I learnt it should
be something like this :-
$ rsync -avzP ftp.de.debian.org::debian-cd/ /sda8/
I tried it too, with the $SITE variable set, this is my take:
rsync -avzP --delete ${SITE}::debian-cd/ ./debian-cd-mirror
I found that some mirrors didn't work as expected and others worked to a
point, then I found one that kept on working and cleaned up the mess
left behind by an old out of sync mirror (with the --delete option).
Ok I cancelled it, as it was downloading the 5.0.7 how do I tell it to
download 6.0 squeeze beta2 ?
I don't have an answer, it depends what is on the mirror I support, then
you _might_ be able to path it to the right area.
Due to connection limitations at my end the download will not happen
in one go but over few days. So how do I set it up so that each time I
just run some command and it takes from where it left.
rsync will sort it out itself, you can stop it anytime and start it
again and it'll work through the list again, provided it's not
completely different, you won't be downloading the same files again.
$wget -c something.something
Yep, it doesn't work with all servers though, but the -c for continue is
quite handy at times.
Further on this topic, the rsync I am doing has all kinds of files, such as:
.tar.gz
.iso
.img
.squashfs
I hope that one of the files that will download will tell me "how" all
this is to be used somehow ;-)
I might do a dry run, just to get a full listing as well. There are
sure to be many files that I'm downloading that will have no real use
for me as most of the time I just use a netinst iso. And of course, the
whole deal starts again when there is a newer release, a minor or a
major one!

Re: using jigdo or/and rsync to keep images freshen.

From what I know Debian released Squeeze 6.0 b2 about 3-4 days (on 6th IIRC). Now I know that debian also has a weekly build which is built every week which has all the updates as well has the latest updates to the debian-installer (specifically the graphical installer) . What I want to do is keep the image current to whatever would be the weekly build. There are 4 ways in which this can be achieved. a. Do the straight download through the server using a download manager/wget whatever. b. Do a torrent download every week. Both the above ideas aren't bandwidth efficient as I would have to download say in 2 weeks something like 1.2 GB even if I'm thinking about having a CD downloaded. Also IIRC on many of these images, there is no resume available and hence would have to download from start. So two ways remain . 1. jigdo 2. rsync From what little I know the idea behind both of these is that it will download only the diff between the files. Instead of downloading 600 MB to 4.4 GB again, one might save 60-70% in bandwidth (supposedly) using either of these ways. I tried jigdo but it didn't work for me. It was downloading files and after an hour or more of downloading files I did a CTRL+C or something like that to know if it can resume from there. It said something about merging and when I did again it started right from the beginning . I did read a mini howto online but that didn't help. There are two things which I didn't like specifically. While it is verbose, it isn't verbose as in how much (in percentage and time estimation) about how much time it will take to do the whole thing first time. One way I see out of this is to download the file first through a torrent, then put the same file using jigdo and then next week when a new jigdo file comes work through that, is my logic sound ? Also I do know that jigdo is in maintenance mode so don't see any possibility of a GUIfied version of it. rsync, have really no idea. Did you try http://www.debian.org/CD/mirroring/rsync-mirrors ?

I want to be able to in a place where I can use the new images as well as help out friends in case they need Debian images. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
