Re: Small bug in jigdo-win-0.7.2, patched

[Richard Atterer <richard@2007.atterer.net>]

Hi Peter,

having spent some more thought on your patch, I'm not convinced that I 
should apply it. Your changes make jigdo-lite ask questions when 
someone supplies a URL which specifies several images, like 
...image-{1,2}.jigdo

However, the idea behind the batch mode is that someone will want to run 
jigdo-lite unattended (e.g. during the night), and it should download and 
assemble all images - it shouldn't stop in the middle to ask questions.

IMHO, in your case the "intended way" to use jigdo-lite is:

  - either run it twice and specify the different URLs individually
  - or mount both source images and supply them for scanning for both 
  downloads

In the second case, note that you can supply for scanning a directory which 
contains symlinks. For example, you could copy one of the 2 old DVDs to 
your hard drive and use a symlink to also include the second DVD which is 
mounted in your DVD drive.

Cheers,

  Richard
