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-mir-
     ror, 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.
