This is a port for the jigdo software, the new method of the Debian project to distribute their images. As I have a debian mirror on a FreeBSD machine I needed that to generate the debian 3.0 iso images here. The sources of jigdo are available but do not work out of the box, so I decided to go with the static binaries in linux-emulation.

Jigsaw Download, or short jigdo, is a tool designed to ease the distribution
|
|
of very large files over the internet, for example CD or DVD images. Its aim
|
|
is to make downloading the images as easy for users as a click on a direct
|
|
download link in a browser, while avoiding all the problems that server
|
|
administrators have with hosting such large files.
|
|
|
|
At the moment this port is only tested to work for building the iso images
|
|
of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
