Re: Debian 3.0 released. Jigdo files available.
Lance and Wookey, any reason why you haven't been using jigdo-mirror?

It won't, but in any case it's not designed to be run without
interaction, so you would have to hack it...
(jigdo-*mirror* will throw away everything even if only a few K are
missing, since it assumes that all the packages are available
locally.)

So far I planned to add support for giving >1 jigdo files/URLs as
input, and have them downloaded one after the other.
ITYM "temp dirs", not "temp files"? Should be easy to make it use
"temp.<pid>"...

Doesn't it already do this? It only leaves behind the image and the
.jigdo/.template files! (Oh, and jigdo-file-cache.db, but you can set
this to e.g. ~/.jigdo-file-cache.db in your ~/.jigdo-lite.)
