Description Andre Robatino 2007-12-27 10:34:46 UTC
Description of problem:
  jigdo-lite prompts for a path under which existing media containing packages
is mounted.  Typically, it's enough to just use the default selection "/media",
in which case it recursively checks everything under /media.  However, it's
possible there may be other large media mounted under /media (such as
automounted external hard drives), in which case to avoid reading them one needs
to specify the exact path under which the Fedora CD or DVD is mounted.  For
example, for the Fedora Unity 20070912 DVD the path is

/media/\"FU\ 20070912\ 7\ i386\ DVD\"/

but if you try to specify this to jigdo-lite, it doesn't recognize it:

Skipping object `/media/\"FU\ 20070912\ 7\ i386\ DVD\"/' (No such file or directory)
Found 0 of the 580 files required by the template
Will not create image or temporary file - try again with different input files

This necessitates ugly workarounds such as creating a temporary symlink without
special characters, and giving that to jigdo-lite:

ln -s /media/\"FU\ 20070912\ 7\ i386\ DVD\"/ /tmp/tmplink

and if one points jigdo-lite to /tmp/tmplink, then it works.  But the original
version should work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
jigdo-0.7.3-4.fc8

How reproducible:
always

Comment 1 Jonathan Steffan 2008-01-16 18:33:33 UTC
I'm not sure if this will ever be fixed in jigdo-lite. In our brief
conversations with upstream, jigdo-lite has reached it's EOL, though I don't
speak for the current upstream. I would be interested in see if pyjigdo has the
same issue. You can install the alpha release with 'yum install pyjigdo'. Let us
know how it works out.

Comment 2 Andre Robatino 2008-01-17 10:34:17 UTC
  pyjigdo has the exact same problem, which I've reported as bug #429099.

Comment 3 Jeroen van Meeuwen 2008-01-24 14:33:35 UTC
Should we mark this bug as a duplicate for #429099 ?

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 09:11:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 05:38:02 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 6 Andre Robatino 2009-01-09 06:09:24 UTC
Just tested this on F10 with jigdo-0.7.3-7.fc10.x86_64.  Bug still exists.  Changing Version to 10.

Skipping object `/media/Fedora\ 9\ i386\ DVD/' (No such file or directory)

Comment 7 Frank Murphy 2009-03-10 11:56:50 UTC
try with just jigdo "/media/Fedora Whatever"

Worked for me here

Comment 8 Andre Robatino 2009-03-10 12:27:23 UTC
When I use either

jigdo "/media/Fedora\ 9\ i386\ DVD/"

or

jigdo /media/Fedora\ 9\ i386\ DVD/

with the disc mounted, the GUI gives me the error message

URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

Comment 10 Andre Robatino 2009-11-18 14:33:37 UTC
Still broken in F12 with jigdo-0.7.3-9.fc12.

Comment 11 Jonathan Steffan 2010-04-10 23:34:35 UTC
I'll look at adding a patch for jigdo-lite and potentially the GUI, but this should really go upstream.

Comment 12 Andre Robatino 2010-06-20 13:34:27 UTC
Still broken in Rawhide with jigdo-0.7.3-9.fc12.

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 10:30:46 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.
