Via jigdo, or rsync if you bribe Phil.

Oh, yes, I've updated the FAQ, now that things have settled down and
the MD5SUMS files have ended up alongside the jigdo files in
<http://cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/>.

Indeed. :-/

/CD/mirroring/ is horribly outdated... I was just going to update the
page and then realized that I don't know what mirroring method we
should recommend:
- debcdmirror (PIK-based) is no longer supported - or is it??
- rsync-based without debcdmirror is kind of pointless (except for
mirroring weekly snapshots whose filenames stay the same) - before
we recommend that, we might as well switch over to plain HTTP/FTP
(password-protected of course...)
- jigdo-mirror is still new and has seen little testing. Also, it
currently needs a local Debian package mirror (I want to change
that).
What do people (especially you, Phil!-) think, what should we say on
/CD/mirroring/?

"Normal jigdo"?
You first mirror the whole dir structure underneath
<http://cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/> via HTTP/FTP,
then hand your local copy of current/jigdo/ and your local Debian
mirror to jigdo-mirror.

No, there was no other mail. I think the rsync path has changed. What
was the new path again? And Phil, is it still password-protected?
Cheers,
