I like to track some directories to see if there are new source tarballs added and subsequently download them automatically. I can do that with FTP sites using my own scripts, but processing HTML pages is different for every page/site and would require custom processing for each different page and directory.
I know it is hard to do while using linux basic tools (lynx, curl, wget) and bash scripting, but if someone has a pointer, then please let me know. By the way, they say that perl and LWP might do, but I do a lot of programming in various languages but not with perl or python.
Regards, Frans. What about using rsync ?
Rsync works only local, via SSH or via a remote rsync daemon. Neither of which is possible. Access to external sites like sourceforge.net is via git, svn, cvs or http. Many projects on sourceforge.net and other sites do not support git, svn or cvs, which leaves only http.
