From the os directory something like this should produce jigdo files/templates for all associated iso files.
for arch in i386 x86_64 do rsync -a --delete --delete-excluded \ --exclude 'repodata/' --exclude 'EULA' \ --exclude 'GPL' --exclude 'NOTES/' \ --exclude 'RELEASE-NOTES*' --exclude 'RPM-GPG-KEY*' \ --link-dest=../$arch/ $arch/ ${arch}.jigdo/

\ ${arch}.jigdo// done done
After the files/templates are created they can be moved to a different/better location as well as updating the Servers section if desired.
Thanks for the recipe. Worked for me. My only complaint is that the .template files are about 2/3rds the size of the .iso they are for... so you end up downloading 2/3rds of an ISO as a template, then all of the files that make up the media... and then have to process it for your own .iso.
If you have a local copy of a the repos it pulls from that is handy... but if not, it seems to be significantly more downloading for the end user than just the .iso media... and the only transfer savings for the provider of the .jigdo (rather than providing the .isos) is that 1/3rd-ish savings over the .iso.
Is that how it is supposed to work?
I don't have the DVD iso so I'm not sure about that one but when I ran it for the CD iso's I got a template of about 15MB for disc1 and < 1MB for each of the other discs. If you remove the exclude for NOTES/ from the rsync then the template drops to < 5MB (but you have to download all the release notes).
Are you sure you had a complete rsync of the os directory without excluding anything prior to running the above command? This was really more a recipe for the CentOS folks to as an example of how easy it would be to create jigdo/template files from their master area that could then be pushed to the mirrors for everyone to enjoy.
Yes, I had complete os/ trees. I basically mounted the DVD iso and copied everything from it. Here's the results I get after running your script:

As you can see, my .template files are about 2/3rds the size of the .iso they are for. What's up with that?
When I ran your script I was inside of the os/ dir... and there are i386 and x86_64 dirs there... and it as part of the process created i386.jigdo/ and x86_64.jigdo/ directories... and copied everything from the i386 and the x86_64 dirs into the .jigdo directories... so maybe I'm doing something wrong?
TYL,
