jigdo suggestion

When I downloaded Debian testing or stable releases, I usually downloaded the .jigdo and .template files, and let jigdo-lite fill them up from the nearest Debian mirror ftp site.

Could we do this for Devuan as well? Then we could construct an installation DVD .iso from a .jigdo and .template file filled with only the Devuan-specific packages, and download the other 99% from the Debian mirror nearest to our respective countries. And when there are only few packages updated between release candidates, this minimizes the bandwidth to keep the release candidate .iso s updated.

I'm referring to a site layout like here: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

    Something a couple of days ago on IRC was suggesting the same offering to do it, so, i bet it will be done as soon as we have a released iso

    Yeah, that was me. I'll do it as soon as you have a released iso.

    Ping @fritsd . Can you test it with the Alpha4 release? I think this should be ready to go for the Beta release. Changing milestone.

    I've made the amd64 CD jigdo, it tests ok on my computer, please test it before uploading.

    Also I've made a brief? HOWTO on how to download with jigdo if you already have a Debian jessie DVD, should save a LOT of bandwidth for you if they use it :-) HOWTO-download-Devuan-CD-with-jigdo.txt

    devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_CD.jigdo

    ARGH the template file is 36 MB, max filesize is 10Mb. where can I upload it??

    I'll do it in 4 parts for now, to be cat ted together to devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_CD.template devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_CD.template.part00 devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_CD.template.part01 devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_CD.template.part03 devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_CD.template.part02

    I was going to setup to also build jigdo images using debian-cd along with the iso's but thought I'd hold off until we're ready for the next build which I'm planning for next week.
