If you have read this far, you may be confused now, asking yourself what jigdo does and doesn't do. :-) It seems that the jigdo concept is a bit difficult to grasp at first. If you're still interested, have a look at the respective section of the HOWTO and at the Examples section of the jigdo-file manual.

===Installing jigdo on CentOS and RHEL===
You need to download and install the correct RPM file from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/jigdo/ . The choices currently available are for RHEL/CentOS 1 through 5 (they're the ones labelled eg jigdo-0.7.3-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm where the text in bold indicates Enterprise Linux 5), Red Hat 9, and Fedora 1 through 3. There are also source RPMs available.

===Generic Use of jigdo by mirroring repository on SME Server===
This is generic instruction when you need to build an iso for test purpose on a SME Server (what else). Before formally releasing an iso on SME Server mirrors, the developers work on a pre-release to test and debug it, so you have to use jigdo to create the iso, the aim being to test it .<br />
First you have to verify that jigdo is installed on your SME server, see instructions [[JIGDO_-_create_SME_Server_ISOs#Installing_jigdo_on_CentOS_and_RHEL|above]] or below for [[JIGDO_-_create_SME_Server_ISOs#Getting_SME_8.1_Beta_2|debian]].
* If you want to build an iso of our marvellous work, you need to download packages from our mirrors. Firstly, make a couple of folders to organize your work (choose the right SME Server needed) :
mkdir -p /root/jigdo/sme9
or for SME Server 8
mkdir -p /root/jigdo/sme8
* Download all contents from the repos (see below), best to make a cup of coffee, it can take some time...This is an example of what you have to do to build a sme9.0beta3, you should take a look to the repository to adapt a new url. This command Line can update rpm in your folder, there is no need to download again which is already downloaded.
rsync --progress -aHS --partial --delete-after rsync://mir1.ovh.ca/smeserver/releases/testing/9.0beta3/ /root/jigdo/sme9
or for SME Server 8
rsync --progress -aHS --partial --delete-after rsync://mir1.ovh.ca/smeserver/releases/testing/8.1beta3/ /root/jigdo/sme8
* Once finished you need to go to the right folder
cd /root/jigdo/sme9/iso/x86_64/
or for SME Server 8
cd /root/jigdo/sme8/iso/x86_64/
* Perform this command
jigdo-lite --noask --scan ../../smeos/x86_64/ *.jigdo
of course you have to adapt the architecture which you want to build (i386 or x86_64). '''A known issue is that jigdo fails with a code 3 if an ISO is already present in its current folder.'''
=== Getting SME 8.1 Beta 2 on Debian ===
The [http://atterer.org/jigdo/debian-jigdo-mini-howto mini-HOWTO for jigdo] describes it's format and justification for use.
* Download the jigdo file:
mkdir -p /home/dluser/smeserver
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/releases/testing/8.1beta2/smeos/i386/smeserver-8.1beta2-i386.jigdo
* Since it is only beta, edit the '''Servers''' section for the '''SMEmirror''' parameter to be:
SMEmirror=http://mirror.contribs.org/releases/testing/8.1beta2/smeos/i386/
* When it becomes final, the above step will not be necessary as the '''/8.1beta2/''' folder will become '''/8/'''.
* Trying to get it in debian will entail the install of [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JigdoDownloadHowto jigdo-file]
apt-get install jigdo-file
* Get the ISO using '''jigdo-lite''' (yes, not ''jigdo-file'')
jigdo-lite smeserver-8.1beta2-i386.jigdo
* On 2013-10-15, when the ISO was built, it was 727,961,600 bytes in length and had the following MD5:
a509d21d476f66b9d27135599b3e6936 smeserver-8.1beta2-i386.iso
* The end log was

Finished!
The fact that you got this far is a strong indication that `smeserver-8.1beta2-i386.iso'
was generated correctly. I will perform an additional, final check,
which you can interrupt safely with Ctrl-C if you do not want to wait.
OK: Checksums match, image is good!
