Well, in the absence of a better idea, I settled on /jigdo-area/ for the master site, on the basis that that gives me a chance to have /images/ in parallel with that, and still have the paths make some sort of sense, so I'd imagine that using whatever your currently published path is, with jigdo-area on the end, would be consistent with this. So, something like: http://planetmirror.com/pub/debian-cd/jigdo-area/ and potentially http://planetmirror.com/pub/debian-cd/images/ with versioned directories under each. What do you think? > o as a mirror site, do i have to do anything special to support end users > using jigdo ? You should probably make sure that the jigdo files refer to your server for the templates (is there a jigdo-mirror script that does something along these lines?) I think attempting to mirror the snapshot area is probably more trouble than it's worth, so I wouldn't bother with that. > o as a mirror, do i keep ISO images around anymore ? It's up to you --- for people that want to use rsync, it might be a useful service, and would mean that people who cannot manage to get jigdo to work for whatever reason would still be able to get CDs. Maybe it's worth seeing if anyone asks for it.
