Can you expand upon this a bit? The netinst.iso doesn't have very many
files on it, so I'm not sure what the value of jigdo is vs just
downloading it from the http server(s).
sure. and I mentioned it with "expense/profit" eg. download ~100 MB
versus building a jigdo.
I don't know how much work is needed to build an jigdo.
as I know and do jigdo takes parts of an "old" source, maybe the old
netinst.iso and AFAIK gets the rest from the tree.
if I'm right here, then in the case where no netinstall.iso's avaible
one is able to fresh up his/her iso's from the current rawhide tree.
in the past the tree was always there, a iso not every time.
*and* that iso was always related to the current tree, eg. installing
from rawhide tree with an old iso wasn't possible.
the value could be that someone don't have to wait when there are no
iso's avaiblable. increases testers uptime.
but it was only a thought...
