Re: Still no AMD 3.1r4 images available
Hi Alan,
I'm not sure what the problem is in this specific case, but I can comment
on jigdo's behaviour. rsync access to the images is possible, see below.

The problematic file cannot be found on the main Debian mirror you chose.
This is OK, it's bound to happen with a couple of files especially for
testing/unstable images. The reason is that on a certain day the .iso
images are made, but on the next day a couple of packages are updated with
new versions in testing, so the old versions (whose URLs are referenced by
the ISO's .jigdo file) are deleted from regular Debian servers.

File downloaded OK from Steve's backup mirror. This was set up to still
contain all packages in the .iso even if the regular Debian mirrors no
longer have it...

I just downloaded the file from amd64-cdsnap.debian.net, and the actual
md5sum is t8hRKRH5UWeIZycyV1vRJw (output by "jigdo-file md5 <filename>").
Unfortunately snapshot.debian.net, which is a good resource when hunting
for old package versions, does not have amd64 packages, so I cannot test
whether its version would have made an improvement.

The right file is there in the list, but this won't help as apparently its
content has changed, or some other problem occurred... :-/

It would be possible if you _had_ the right file, the one with the md5sum
of "v7GHb6Mx8a6csCmMKP_kxQ", by specifying a directory at the "files to
scan" prompt which contains that file.
What you /can/ do is to just write the .iso.tmp file to CD-R as you would
the finished .iso. On the resulting CD, the gtkdiskfree package's content
would be all zero bytes, so any attempt to install that package will fail
with an error message. Otherwise, the CD ought to be perfectly usable!

Check again, isn't this what you're looking for? ;-)
rsync://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/sarge-amd64/iso-cd/
Use "rsync -B 8192 -P ..." for better speed. :)
Cheers,
Richard
