- <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
- <P>See <SPAN><SPAN>jigdo-file</SPAN>(1)</SPAN> for an introduction to
- Jigsaw Download.</P>
- <P><B>jigdo-mirror</B> 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.</P>
- <P>As the first step of using <B>jigdo-mirror</B>, you need to set up
- normal HTTP/FTP/rsync mirroring both of the `<TT>.jigdo</TT>'/`<TT
- >.template</TT>' 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 <B>jigdo-mirror</B>, you need a mirror of
- the `<TT>.jigdo</TT>'/`<TT>.template</TT>' files and a Debian mirror on
- the local machine.</P>
- <P>At regular intervals (preferably immediately after the normal
- mirroring has finished), schedule a run of <B>jigdo-mirror</B>. It will
- search through a given directory for any `<TT>.jigdo</TT>' files and
- attempt to create all images offered by each file.</P>
- <P>The script requires you to set a number of variables - please refer
- to the start of <TT>/usr/bin/jigdo-mirror</TT> for a description of
- each of them. Since <TT>/usr/bin/jigdo-mirror</TT> will be overwritten
- whenever you upgrade <B>jigdo-mirror</B>, it is highly recommended
- <SPAN><I>not</I></SPAN> to change the settings directly in this script.
- Instead, personal settings should be saved in a file called <TT
- >.jigdo-mirror</TT> 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.</P></DIV>
