    I've been working on getting jigdo usable for Fedora Unity. In the
process, I needed a way to have a single url to access rpms on public
mirrors.
    

Why? Does jigdo only understand "I have file named x-y-z", as opposed
to any particular URL to find it?

Take a look at a jigdo template. This is one from a 20070219 spin using revisor (which uses pungi.)

Due to mirrors having different structure.. it makes more sense to not list every mirror for each part. It makes more sense to be geoIP aware and just have a single point of entry. Also, it makes most sense to only direct users to mirrors that have the parts. That jigdo file is usable.. if anyone wants to give it a try. Not to say it will always work, it is just a test. So those of you that just want a Re-Spin.. please don't use it.
