From: Attila Nagy To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: udo.schweigert@siemens.com Subject: Re: ports/40834: New port: net/linux-jigdo Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 18:00:33 +0200 (CEST) Hello, ports/40834 contains a port of Jigsaw Download (jigdo) with the following description: "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." I have only three objections regarding this: 1. jigdo isn't a new method of the Debian project to distribute their images. It's a third party software (developed by Richard Atterer) which works for *any* file (can be used most effectively when the given file isn't compressed, like ISO9660 images, DVD images, large tar files, etc). 2. the sources of jigdo compiles and works out of the box. (not counting FreeBSD 5-CURRENT, where it needs GCC 2.95, because the program does not yet compile with GCC 3.1) I think running it in linux-emu is waste of resources. 3. in the knowledge of the above, I have submitted a port which compiles on FreeBSD 4-STABLE and FreeBSD 5-CURRENT, and can reconstruct .jigdo files. The PR is: ports/40954 Thanks, --------[ Free Software ISOs - ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/ ]------- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Free Software Network (FSN.HU) phone @work: +361 210 1415 (194) cell.: +3630 306 6758 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
