[Fwd: Re: How to generate a .template and .jigdo from an iso image?]

Hi Ralph

I received this e-mail from Fedora Infrastructure list. My problem at that moment was a proper syntax for the jigdo-file command.

Using the their script as reference, I made a simpler one to test the command[1]. And it's working:
newt (Linux) $pwd; ls -l *.jigdo *.template
/users/newt2/mgarcia/iso/dvd
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgarcia slocate 214226 May 13 13:44 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 mgarcia slocate 196853099 May 13 13:44 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.template
newt (Linux) $

I copy all the files in CentOS directory of the image to the directory "/users/newt2/mgarcia/iso/os", so I could export as NFS.

I don't know if there is a better way to test, but what I did was to create a centos.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d[2]. Then in the machine called prost, issued the command:
[root@prost ~]# jigdo-lite http://newt/centos/CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.jigdo

Jigsaw Download "lite"

Hi

I read the man page. It says that I have to specify only one of the
options "-i", "-j" or "-t". OK. If I use only -i, my template has the
same size of image, then there is no point in using jigdo. There must be
something more.

My question is how Fedora generates the .template with only 11.1M? The
command "jigdo-file -i CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.iso" it's not enough.


Attached is the script Fedora Unity uses to jigdofy it's Re-Spins. Note
the "function jigdofy()" in the top that may just help you get the
syntax right.

Note the double slash in the two directories passed to the "jigdo-file
make-template" command, which functions as a delimiter for jigdo-file,
so that in the --label parameter, we can 'label' the path and then
attach a URI (--uri) to be used in the resulting .jigdo file instead.

$1 is the (fully qualified) path to the .iso image,
$2 is the base architecture for the .iso image (i386, x86_64 or ppc in
our case), and
${version} is the Fedora $releasever (9 or 10 right now).

Also note that /data/os/distr/fedora is a local, full mirror and that
/data/os/archive/fedora is a local, full archive (with package files
that have been removed from the mirror because for example they've
expired and have been superseeded by another update to said package).

Kind regards,
