OK. We've been mirroring from rsync://us.cdimage.debian.org/debian-jidgo/
Can I run jigdo-mirror against rsync://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/ and have
it do the right thing? If so, do I need to do --exclude *.iso, or some other
magic?
Not really, jigdo-mirror assumes the old (pre-sarge) layout with separate
trees of jigdos and isos. These days we consider iso, jigdo and bittorrent
to be diffrent access methods of the same set to make it easier to
navigate for users (even if mirorring might be slightly less convenient).
If handling a "smart" script is too much work, feel free to just rsync the
entir tree. I try to keep cdimage.d.o free for mirrors by means of http-
redirects at release time.
Our experiences so far in that regard, in case yo haven't seen it:
