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.
