Hello out there,

is it possible to make wget retrieve only the latest version of a 
given *.tar.gz source package?

For example in ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget there might be
wget-1.5.tar.gz, wget-1.6.tar.gz, wget-1.7.tar.gz. I would like
to "say" to wget: retrieve wget-someversion.tar.gz and wget
fetches only the latest version (in this example: wget-1.7.tar.gz).
And when wget-1.8.tar.gz is out it will retrieve only
this one.

So I could download always the latest version without mirroring
(i have a slow modem) and without firering up a ftp client just
to look which is the latest version.

Regards and thanks in advance for any { idea | advice },

Florian
