Jigsaw Download, or short jigdo, is a tool designed to ease the distribution
of very large files over the internet, for example CD or DVD images. Its aim
is to make downloading the images as easy for users as a click on a direct
download link in a browser, while avoiding all the problems that server
administrators have with hosting such large files.
At the moment this port is only tested to work for building the iso images
of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use

New port: net/linux-jigdo
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.
