It does seem that the lack of relative URLs makes the mirroring of templates painful or pointless (depending on whether people are expected to edit the jigdo files). Also, editing jigdo files means they are no longer md5sum-able, which might be important, although obviously the important md5sum is of the resulting image. > If the final woody CDs use relative URLs, I'm going to have to remove > all references to jigdo-easy2win from the web pages, because I don't > want to see 1000 "it doesn't work" messages on this list when woody is > released. How about an update to jigdo that (assuming there is only one [Image] section) simply ignores the Template= setting by default, and chops off the jigdo and tacks on template to generate it as a first try? Alternatively, presumably jigdo-easy2win can deal with the case where someone downloads the .jigdo & .template files and then points at the local copy, so one could write the procedure as: If you have version X.Y.Z or later of jigdo-lite, invoke it with a URL as usual, otherwise download the jigdo and template files for the images you need, and then run jigdo-lite or jigdo-easy2win against the copies you now have on your local disk. Would either of those work?
