The get-fedora pages offer jigdo download links for Fedora 9 as part of the new Jigdo feature. The get-fedora page however has no additional information about jigdo for people who are new to this feature.
Adding a link to more information, whether it is to the Fedora wiki, or to external documentation would be helpful for downloaders.
The JigdoRelease Feature page is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/JigdoRelease but this is not really end-user documentation to link to. The following pages are linked as documentation from the release wiki page. http://fedorasolved.org/post-install-solutions/jigdo/ http://atterer.net/jigdo/
This was suggested on Fedora-test-list by Adam Pribyl in the thread here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-April/msg01520.html
anyone on the web team want to get this?
Sounds simple enough. I'll take it!
patch v1.0 (using strings) without duplicates jigdo-explain.diff
Sorry, I didn't notice that there was a patch on this one - afarris: are you OK with the text, or do you have any other suggestions before this gets pushed?
(CCing web-members)
ping?
Looking at the get-fedora-all page, putting that text there would not make sense. It seems that we'd also have to do something similar for bittorrent. An alternate idea could be to add a question mark icon or add a 'format help' section which could provide more details on torrents, iso, jidgo, etc. I do agree that including something like this would be helpful for a new user.
Investigating.
We no longer offer jidgo. I discovered we still have markup live that is commented. View source at http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all . I need to submit a diff to remove.
Contacting #fedora-websites at the suggestion of nirik.
nirik confirmed we no longer offer jigdo. elad661 is removing the commented markup. The markup is not present in get-prerelease.
