Dear Mentors, I'd like you to see HarvestMan (http://harvestman.freezope.org) (ITP bug #352012). I have made some updates to the package over the last week. Description: <quote> HarvestMan can be used to download files from websites, according to a number of user-specified rules. The latest version of HarvestMan supports as much as 60 plus customization options. HarvestMan is a console (command-line) application. HarvestMan is the only public-domain, multithreaded web-crawler program written in the Python language. HarvestMan is released under the GNU General Public License. </quote> The package is quite small and simple. The current tarball is available at http://download.berlios.de/harvestman/HarvestMan-1.4.6.tar.bz2 (< 100KB) and my diff is at: http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~ee03b091/debpkgs The current status is, that I have a source package which generates python2.3-harvestman, python2.4-harvestman and python-harvestman. python-harvestman depends on the 2.3 version and ships with a symbolic link to the executable script present in the site-packages directory. I have also outlined the advantage of using the 2.4 package in README.Debian. It is almost lintian clean; upstream uses two changelog files, on of which is called Changes.txt, so that causes a warning. Please send in your comments, so that I can improve it.
