Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Upstream addressed that already so I've packaging a new upstream snapshot to
pick up changes.

That was a version detection implying that archivebox executable is running
from git repository. I've patched away this logic and embedded package
version.

Indeed it is an inconvenient default even though it is customizable by
setting "OUTPUT_DIR" environment variable or in "~/.ArchiveBox.conf" as per
template in
/usr/share/doc/archivebox/examples/ArchiveBox.conf.default
I've patched ArchiveBox to use current working directory.
"~/.cache/archivebox/" feels oddly specific...

It has been fixed by recent updates to packaging. I could successfully
archive some web sites but archived debian.org seems to CSS so the menu is
not rendered properly...

I need Scrapbook alternative as well but I'll be working slowly towards that
goal due to pressure from other priorities. I'm yet to learn how to use
ArchiveBox... Also upstream prepares some serious changes for next release --
I hope it won't be too difficult to package. I'd appreciate any help with
ArchiveBox.
Did you have a look at Archivematica by any chance?
