I appreciate the effort put into preparing jigdo and templates for F9,
however I'm bit strugglig what is the purpose of this method. It's maybe
great for server side distribution, but it's bit useless without users
using it right?
No, it isn't a peer to peer distribution method. The clients retrieve
the files within the larger iso from individual files provided on
mirrors in any case. Instead of one large DVD download with potential
for an incomplete download, it can be easily restarted, and pointed to
the user's nearest possible mirrors, or local files. That's good if you
are on the rawhide testing run - once the dvd jigdo is released, you
probably already have 95% of the rpms already on your disk.
As of now, there is no description how to use those
cryptic .jigdo file on fedoraproject pages.
Did you find the unity writeup clear ?
What would you change ?
Anyone with a wiki account can create a new page, or start work on such
a document within your wiki home. Ask if you need help !
Actually the jigdorelease feature has good info:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/JigdoRelease
You can find it only on
http://fedoraunity.org/solved/post-install-solutions/jigdo/ and it
actually is not a "one click" method (btw: pyjigdo I did not found in
repos for F8, or am I wrong?).
ya missed it:
$ rpm -q pyjigdo --info

Would it be worth droping at least note
at get-fedora pages what to do with those jigdo files, if we do not have
an application to asociate them in web browser?
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/jigdo
jigdo-0.7.3-4.fc8
