configuration section" of top Makefile and analogous spot in others.
* po/Makefile.in.in: Previous addition of top_builddir to
po/Makefile.in was bogus -- it's generated from po/Makefile.in.in.
wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Explained that you need
to use -r -l1 -p to get the two levels of requisites for a
<FRAMESET> page. Also made a few other wording improvements.
appropriate -I, -L, and -R/-rpath flags in environment variables,
manually. Automated everything, including bundling libtool so we can
successfully link with the OpenSSL shared libraries on just about any
platform.
* wget.texi: Moved -nr from "Recursive Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and
gave it a @cindex entry. Alphabetized FTP options by long option name.
* main.c (print_help): -nr belongs in "FTP options" section of --help output,
not "Recursive retrieval" section. Alphabetized FTP options by long option
name.
* Makefile.in (install): Do install.man if we have pod2man.
* Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have pod2man. Added some
missing '$(srcdir)/'s. Added missing dependencies on install targets
(allowing you to just do `make install' rather than forcing you to do `make &&
make install'). Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters
if available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely satisfy
dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or fails -- fixed call of
texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.
* texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS. Now automatically generated.
* texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl, getting the
appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this system and becoming
executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't arrive executable).
looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch. Added "[Not
in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated due to the wget.info
dependency, and then that file will get regenerated, forcing people to have
makeinfo installed unnecessarily. We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in
the distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and "UPDATED Feb
2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000". Like the comment in the file says, it'd be nice if
these were handled automatically...
- use mmap() to read whole files in core instead of allocating memory
and read'ing it.
- use a new, more general, HTML parser (html-parse.c) and interface to
it from Wget (html-url.c).
- respect <meta name=robots content=nofollow> (easy with the new HTML
parser).
- use hash tables instead of linked lists in places where the lists
were used to facilitate mappings.
- rewrite the code in host.c to be more readable and faster (hash
tables instead of home-grown lists.)
- make convert_links properly convert partial URLs to complete ones
for those URLs that have *not* been downloaded.
- use HTTP persistent connections where available. very
simple-minded, caches the last connection to the server.
