While we are at the wishlist for jigdo, and - congratulations for Woody
3.0! - I would like to add a "small" item.
When a package on the local mirror becomes outdated, the newer version
is downloaded completely. This is not a big problem with small
packages, but suppose a 150MByte openoffice.deb, which becomes
repackaged because one configfile has changed.
If the download tool(s) could look at the local package cache or mirror
if an older (not-too old?!?) version exist and rsync the newer version
on top of bandwidth could be saved. This is important at least for us
with low (loooow) bandwidth capacities. At times I have to recurse even
to telefone links for my updates!
Of course this is not jigdo-functionality but debian-package and version
administration functionality and maybe has to be handled "outside" of
jigdo.
Best Regards,
Jorge-León
