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.
man mkisofs
It's fairly simple these days.
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.
A user needs the .jigdo file. a .template file, and access to a repo
with all the files. A local ISO file to update is a bonus.
