Bug#796641: cdimage.debian.org: jigdo scanning from local media is slower than dirt
Package: cdimage.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
when using local media to scan for packages needed, it is horrendously slow.
This could be sped up by using a local package database or csv file or the like
on each install medium.Then it would be a breeze to scan that file and compare
it to the jigdo template. The entire medium, in my case BDROM, would not need
to be scanned.
Since the entire jigdo process is all about knowing what packages are where,
this should be an easy fix.
