It's not included because it's an auto-generated file. Info and `.gmo' files are not in the CVS for similar reasons. As you've gathered by now, running `make -f Makefile.cvs' (or simply `autoconf') will generate configure. This however means that you need to have `autoconf' installed, but CVS sources are expected to be used by developers who have such stuff. And Autoconf comes with most Linux distributions anyway so it's not such a big deal.

It seems that Jan's VMS parser has problems with this server's output. On my system Wget even dumps core. Now that I have the address of a system to test, I'll take a look at the parser and see if I can fix it.
VMS server testing needed
Jan and I made some changes to FTP code to fix several long-standing bugs with recursive retrieval and CWD. I tested it with Unix FTP servers, but the VMS part might be broken. Could someone with access to a VMS FTP server please try to compile the latest CVS sources and see if recursive retrieval works? You don't need to DL gigabytes of data; you just need to see whether Wget issues the correct CWD commands to the server. The interesting cases are: # download everything under the anonymous tree. wget -r ftp://HOST/ # download everything under anonumous-root/DIR. wget -r ftp://HOST/DIR/ # download everything under USER's home directory. wget -r ftp://USER:PASSWORD@HOST/ # download everything under ~USER/DIR. wget -r ftp://USER:PASSWORD@HOST/DIR/ # the same, but specified in a different way. wget -r ftp://USER:PASSWORD@HOST//path/to/users/home/DIR/ # (attempt to) download the whole Unix system directory tree wget -r ftp://USER:PASSWORD@HOST// Needless to say, not all of these need be present. In fact, your report will be interesting even with only one of them. The above is just a list of different setups that exhibited problems at some point. (The above all work for me with Unix FTP servers.) If the test case doesn't work (e.g. Wget CWD's into an obviously wrong directory), please send the `-d' output along with the report.
