Note:
Mail redirected from bug to normal wget list.
H For getting Wget you might want to link directly to
H ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/wget-1.9.1b-complete.zip,
OK, but too bad there's no stable second link .../latest.zip so I
don't have to update my web page to follow the link.
Yep, this would make things much easier for applications like yours.
However, I think the current wget version can to all you'll ever
need for that purpose.
Furthermore, they don't need SSL, but I don't see any 'diet'
versions...
Right, Heiko is so kind to compile the SSL enabled wget binaries.
If you need it without SSL, you would have to compile it yourself.
But since you don't have windows...
H Oh, and the Windows users should preferrably be ones who know how to
H run a command-line application, but I assume you've got that covered.
Exactly not. I recall being able to get to a little window where one
enters a command... Anyway, can you give an example of all the steps
needed to do wget -x -i fetch_list.txt -B
http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian/pool/main/
Hm, why don't you do the following:
download wget and the ssl libraries, unzip them on a windows box
(I know, you don't have it, but someone on this planet you know, should have
it,
I heared it is fairly wide spread).
Unzip them to a sensible directory like c:\wget\
add a startupdate.bat file to the directory
this file should read something like
wget -x -i fetch_list.txt -B http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian/pool/main/
Now, pack everything into a zip again, preserving full folder info.
(I always use Power Archiver 6.1, the last freeware version.)
now create a self-extracting archive from it.
Distribute the archive.exe to your buddies
all they have to do is
a) doubleclick on the archive
b) browse to c:\wget\ with Windows explorer and
c) doubleclick on startupdate.bat
d) afterwards, do the CD writing
Thinking about it, you could distribute wget with the
SSL and startupdate.bat file unzipped on a 1.44MB floppy disk.
