13 jigdo-mirror is a script intended for people who want to offer direct
15 HTTP or FTP downloads of files for which only the jigdo and template
16 files are available.
17 As the first step of using jigdo-mirror, you need to set up normal
19 HTTP/FTP/rsync mirroring both of the `.jigdo'/`.template' files and of
20 the parts that are needed for the reconstruction of the images. For ex‐
21 ample, in the case that you want to mirror Debian CD images with jigdo-
22 mirror, you need a mirror of the `.jigdo'/`.template' files and a De‐
23 bian mirror on the local machine.
24 At regular intervals (preferably immediately after the normal mirroring
26 has finished), schedule a run of jigdo-mirror. It will search through a
27 given directory for any `.jigdo' files and attempt to create all images
28 offered by each file.
29 The script requires you to set a number of variables - please refer to
31 the start of /usr/bin/jigdo-mirror for a description of each of them.
32 Since /usr/bin/jigdo-mirror will be overwritten whenever you upgrade
33 jigdo-mirror, it is highly recommended not to change the settings di‐
34 rectly in this script. Instead, personal settings should be saved in a
35 file called .jigdo-mirror in your home directory, or in a different
36 file whose name is then passed to the script as its first (and only)
37 command line argument.
