wget maintainer?

[Karl Berry]

Regrettably, Mauro has had to resign the maintainership of wget.
(Of course, many thanks to him for his work, and at least as many thanks
to Hrvoje for writing it in the first place.)

I have asked a few people individually if they'd like to take over the
package, but none has had time.

Would anyone on this list feel that they have enough time and
inclination to be the new maintainer?  Please write me if you would like
to volunteer.  I'll post in various places if no one comes forward, but
this seemed like the most likely place ...

Thanks,
Karl

wget and frames

[Karl Berry]

We received this report on webmasters.  Can anyone help Anthony, please?


Hi, 
 
I really like this utility but was having trouble getting 'framed' data
into the output files.
 
It is like when one views the source of the webpage from a browser, this
is what I see in my output file.
 
If I go to view Frame source from the webpage, I see the rest of the
page html.  Is there a way in wget to get this data too without all the
pics/images downloaded?
 
Thanks,
Anthony

Re: wget -m imply -np?

[Karl Berry]

using -m as a trouble-free no-brainer 
will get you the complete site neatly done with timestamps.

But then you're saying wget -m http://example.org in the first place.

If you say wget -m http://example.org/some/deep/sub/directory, then my
experience is that the last thing one wants is to retrieve the entire
example.org site.  This typically happens to me because it's a directory
listing, and one of the directory entries is for `..'.

Perhaps my usage is atypical.

That is wrong, if I understand you correctly. 
Wget will always stay at the start-host, 

Right, my mistake, I should have said "the entire web site".

Thanks,
k

wget -m imply -np?

[Karl Berry]

I wonder if it would make sense for wget -m (--mirror) to imply -np
(--no-parent).  I know that I, at least, have no interest in ever
mirroring anything "above" the target url(s) -- generally, that leads to
the whole Internet.  An option to explicitly include the parents could
be added.

Just a suggestion.  Thanks for the great software.
