I'd certainly "argue" :-) / advocate, that the .jigdo files and archive(s)/repository(/ies) of Ubuntu ought be such that jigdo-lite(1) (and/or other Jigdo clients) can successfully create the relevant target .iso files. Even though there may have been updates (patches / security fixes) since ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso, ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso is still (at least as I'm writing this) the most current ISO for that flavor/variant (Ubuntu-Server LTS amd64), and ought not only be downloadable (as it is), but ought be able to reassemble it via Jigdo (saving both clients, networks, and servers, much bandwidth and time compared to entirely downloading the full ISO file, which is in substantial part redundant with the earlier ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso file). E.g. after otherwise managing to assemble/download, and then "seed" it to BitTorrent - still quite popular (folks have already downloaded a fair chunk of it from me in relatively little time) - so there's certainly no lack of interest in obtaining the iso ... that's also typically what folks would boot from if that's what they want to install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Filename Size Download Upload | ... | ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso 825.0 M 0 B/s 0 B/s | | ^--- download succeeded! 0.0 M 234.8 M | ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted much earlier on: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2014-December/002551.html Ubuntu may still have the individual files downloadable elsewhere, ... that's a start ... but things need to properly line up between what's in the .jigdo files, and where and how things are downloaded. E.g. with Debian :-) one can still use jigdo to assemble iso images back to or nearly to 3.0_r0 (Woody), which was released 2002-07-19, by using the relevant .jigdo file(s) from: http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/ Ubuntu ought maintain its archives and .jigdo files so the .iso files can be assembled with Jigdo clients (e.g. jigdo-lite). Failure to do so just causes lots of repeat problems for various folks, and much losses in efficiency (of downloads, bandwidth, people's time, etc.). This really needs to be fixed systemicly and in the process/procedures, so they're properly maintained and validated. Shouldn't keep having this problem over and over and over again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731762 Title: jigdo: files missing on archive http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ - cannot assemble, e.g. ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jigdo/+bug/1731762/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
