Sounds like a good plan, that probably works out about the same as mine.
FWIW, wget is a GNU "non-interactive network retriever" that's been around for years. (I used the Cygwin version). This is designed to "grab" info from the Internet and create a local copy. The one thing that it adds to the mix is how it handles some required files. E.g., it will grab required images/style sheets from the same site but outside the specified URL and move it into the directory and rewrite the URL's in the retreived HTML pages. Makes a nice quick way to get a "snapshot" of a section of an online site. > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Fischer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 12:40 PM > To: Apache Torque Developers List > Subject: RE: keeping old doc versions > > I do not understand about the wget stuff, but we could simply > take the live versions of the docs from the directory where > they are currently served from and create a .zip and a > .tar.gz from them.
