Hello,
I would like to OpenSUSE to consider the possiblity of use jigdo to download releases with a lot of save for servers and clients. I wrote a small comment in opensuse wiki I repeat here:
jigdo is not really usefull for us, I believe. Because all rpm will get rebuilded between the betas, so it won't have an effect.
Yes, but what about release also DVDs, with most of CD also in DVD?. You can easily transform DVD->'CD set' or 'CD set' -> DVD.
Even in definitive release time, you can release 'CD set', 'single layer DVD set ' and double layer DVD with minimal effort, all based in a common ftp tree with needed packages. Mirror site masters will be happy, I think.
hm, we do not plan to release DVDs for now. Wouldn't it make sense to have some script which fetches only the needed rpms from the ftp tree and builds $MEDIA afterwards ?
This is one of things jigdo does. It is well tested, and make cheksums and md5 control, both of individual packages and whole iso. Do we need reinvent the wheel ? ;)
Guillermo Perhaps we only need to teach people how to build the wheel. Many people, like myself, are not programmers but testers and need the instructions on how do to such a task.
