Dear All, I intend to package the Larbin package. So I used the reportbug program. I set EDITOR=emacsclient and run reportbug wnpp
I filled (under emacs) the "bug report" ################################################################ Subject: volunteering to package Larbin (web crawler) Followup-For: Bug #92959 Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-09-15 * Package name : larbin Version : x.y.z Upstream Author : Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.some.org/ * License : (GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT/X, etc.) Description : Larbin is an efficient web crawler (not an indexer) (Include the long description here.) Larbin is a web crawler (also called (web) robot, spider, scooter...). It is intended to fetch a large number of web pages to fill the database of a search engine. With a network fast enough, Larbin should be able to fetch more than 100 millions pages on a standard PC. Larbin is (just) a web crawler, NOT an indexer. You have to write some code yourself in order to save pages or index them in a database. Larbin was initially developped for the XYLEME project in the VERSO team at INRIA. The goal of Larbin was to go and fetch xml pages on the web to fill the database of an xml-oriented search engine. Thanks to its origins, Larbin is very generalistic (and easy to customize). my email is basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net; my web page is http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/index_en.html -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux hector.lesours 2.4.18 #11-basile_portable Mon Jun 3 07:09:41 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C ################################################################ But I got an error: Choose the request type: 1 Please enter the proposed package name: larbin Checking status database...
