I just discovered this work where they are getting vastly faster jigdo template generation by combining that process with the mkisofs process. Essentially, a modified mkisofs/genisoimage writes out both the .iso and the .template at the same time. There are other tools as well, such as mkimage which is much faster at reconstructing the original .iso when all the files are already downloed (full local mirror), iso-image.pl which is a CGI script to present a reconstructed .iso on-the-fly to HTTP clients without requiring the .iso to be present on disk. Here is some background info: http://www.einval.com/~steve/talks/UKUUG-2005/jigdo.txt and the software itself: http://www.einval.com/~steve/software/JTE/ I'm mentioning this here in case there is interest in moving toward this method for saving time when creating releases. Then maybe there wouldn't be any need to delay when the jigdo templates are released vs. the bittorrent seed like we have with F9 Preview Release :-) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
