Nah, it really is broken :-)

jigdo-file list-template barfs on the resulting templates.

This was with 0.6.9.  Is 0.7.0 likely to fix the problem (I've
installed that now) or do I need the CVS.

While we're on the subject, I've since realised that the thing that
was taking most of the time when generating the images was jigdo,
since a run using jigdo takes over 2 hours per CD on open, whereas
just producing ISO images takes under 10 mins per CD (once you get
into the production of CDs phase).

Am I doing something wrong?  I don't remember jigdo slowing things
down quite that badly.  Is this a symptom of our ever expanding
package pool?

Cheers, Phil.
