I, for one, am thankful for your rant. Before reading this thread, I
had considered using jigdo because I thought it worked in some
sensible way, like, "Make me a spin with these packages; get them from
updates if they are there." Now that I know that the jigdo files are
version-specific, I won't even give it a try. Thanks for saving me a
ton of time!
