NAME¶
jigdo-mirror - Maintain a mirror of images offered with jigdo
SYNOPSIS¶
jigdo-mirror [
config-file ]
DESCRIPTION¶
See
jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.
jigdo-mirror is a script intended for people who want to offer direct
HTTP or FTP downloads of files for which only the jigdo and template files are
available.
As the first step of using
jigdo-mirror, you need to set up normal
HTTP/FTP/rsync mirroring both of the `
.jigdo'/`
.template' files
and of the parts that are needed for the reconstruction of the images. For
example, in the case that you want to mirror Debian CD images with
jigdo-mirror, you need a mirror of the `
.jigdo'/`
.template' files and a Debian mirror on the local
machine.
At regular intervals (preferably immediately after the normal mirroring has
finished), schedule a run of
jigdo-mirror. It will search through a
given directory for any `
.jigdo' files and attempt to create all
images offered by each file.
The script requires you to set a number of variables - please refer to the start
of
/usr/bin/jigdo-mirror for a description of each of them. Since
/usr/bin/jigdo-mirror will be overwritten whenever you upgrade
jigdo-mirror, it is highly recommended
not to change the
settings directly in this script. Instead, personal settings should be saved
in a file called
.jigdo-mirror in your home directory, or in a
different file whose name is then passed to the script as its first (and only)
command line argument.
