Re: need jigdo help

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

I always used jigdo-lite (and described it at:
  https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive#Download_one_or_more_Jigdo_ISOs
)
jigdo-lite is the official advise by Debian:

jigdo-file seems to be for production of the image from .template
and local files:
  https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/jigdo-file/jigdo-file.1.en.html
  "MAKE-IMAGE, MI
   Reads `.template' and FILES, creates image (or `imagename.tmp').
   Provides a rudimentary way of reassembling images - jigdo is usually
   better suited for this task. However, in contrast to jigdo, no
   `.jigdo' file is required."

Unless you have a local Debian package mirror reachable by your
filesystem, you will have to obtain the beef of the ISO image from the
internet.
A .jigdo file contains URLs like
  [Servers]
  Debian=http://us.cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/
  Debian=http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230611T102113Z/ --try-last
as package sources of last resort.
jigdo-lite will ask for the URL of your favorite Debian mirror server
as package source for first tries.


Have a nice day :)
