Re: Creating jigdo files without loal file access
Hello!
I found an elagant way to solve a lot of problems with help of Debian's
md5sums file and 'join'.
I set up a script that sorts out files that have the same checksum in
the Hurd image and on Debian servers, and sets up a link structure like
the file system structure on Debian servers, but pointing on files in
the loopback mounted image. Cheap trick, but it works great.
I could build a image of K2-CD1 with about 2200 of about 3700 files
matching, resulting a template file of 101 Mb size. I'm not very happy
with this size. Any comments?
I saw lots of TRANS.TBL files. Should these be excluded generally? Is
there a list of files to be excluded for jigdo file sets?
I hope to finish my script this week, and of course to have the jigdo
files. But I don't want to publish them unless we have set up a working
fallback directory.
