Re: dumb question about jigdo and i386 and AMD 64 versions of Etch......

Dear Debianists,
How much commonality exists between the i386 versions of Etch or Sarge
and the AMD 64 version of Etch?
Others have addressed the changes from sarge to etch but as far as the
two different architectures go I use apt-cacher to share common files
between my amd64 partition and my i386 partition. The answer is that
there are some packages that are architecture independent. These are
labelled *all.deb. The architecture specific files are labelled
*i386.deb and *amd64.deb respectively.
A quick look at /var/cache/apt/archives on your current machine will
give you an idea how many files are shared. IIRC you can use this as a
source for jigdo too :).
