    Hi John,

    32GB source? All of the source for Debian 11 is available: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/latest-oldstable/source/iso-dvd/ lists 18 DVDs.

    I'm not sure what you mean by 32GB here though: there is a 16GB medium image which is made by using jigdo to build the image from a mirror, a BluRay
    disk and a double-layer BluRay disk size both also made using jigdo.

    It's possible that you have purchased media where someone has simply written
    a smaller image to a 32GB stick.

    Be aware that the final point release of Debian 11 should take place this coming weekend on/around 31st August 2024. CD, DVD and other size images will be produced at that time. This will be the last major point release as
    Debian 11 moved to LTS support from 14th August.

    All the very best, as ever,

    I am not aware that there was a 32 GB ISO of Debian 11 for amd64.
    Maybe you mean the 16 GB ISO ?
    https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/11.10.0/amd64/jigdo-16G/

    Whatever, there is no counterpart for this image in
    https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/11.10.0/source/
    This shortcomming might be worth complaining at the debian-cd mailing
    list:
    https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/

    I guess that the source ISO for the next larger binary ISO contains all
    the source packages of the 16 GB ISO:
    https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/11.10.0/source/jigdo-bd/debian-11.10.0-source-BD-1.jigdo


    Have a nice day :)

    It comes to me that there is probably no 1:1 relation between the
    volumes of a binary ISO set and the volumes of the volumes of the
    source set for the same medium type. That would be because the different
    size of source and binary packages and because the source sets cover
    all architectures together.

    https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/11.10.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/ offers 19 binary ISOs.
    https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/11.10.0/source/jigdo-dvd/ offers only 18 source ISOs.

    So the lack of a "16 GB" source ISO can be justified by the fact, that
    "16 GB" does not constitute a full binary set and thus is not a candidate
    for a source set, which has to be a full set in any case.


    I guess that the source ISO for the next larger binary ISO contains all
    the source packages of the 16 GB ISO:

    Although this guess might still be correct, above considerations open
    enough room for the contrary to let me state that only a complete
    source set guarantees that you got all source packages from which a
    particular binary ISO was made.

    The most compact source set is
    https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/11.10.0/source/jigdo-dlbd/ which offers two volumes.
    But due to the latency bottleneck of Jigdo download maybe you get served
    faster if you download simultaneously a set with smaller volumes, so
    that your jigdo-lite processes form a larger crowd at the Debian mirror
    server.


    Have a nice day :)
