I was bored. I had to figure out the directory layout of ftp.kernel.org one time to many. This was the result: http://www.op.net/~darxus/dlkern It is, of course, written in Perl, and released under the GPL. I'd been wanting to do this for a long time. Anybody know if I just reinvented a wheel ? Usage: dlkern [-sbp] -s Download stable version of Linux kernel. -b Download beta version of Linux kernel. -p Download prepatch version of Linux kernel.Requested:. # dlkern v15, created by Darxus@op.net, Jan 9 20:28 EDT. # # Queries linux.kernel.org for current Linux kernel versions, via finger, # and then downloads the requested versions (stable/beta/pre-patch) as specified # by commandline flags, from ftp.kernel.org using ncftpget. # # It is released under the GNU GPL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) # # This program requires the Net::Finger Perl module which can be obtained from: # Debian package: libnet-finger-perl # RedHat package: perl-Net-Finger # Others: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Net-Finger\n\n";; # # TODO: # * Use random mirrors. If current version is not available from mirror, try # another mirror until it finds the file. # * Support for wget (including flags). # * Make more cron friendly ? __________________________________________________________________ PGP fingerprint = 03 5B 9B A0 16 33 91 2F A5 77 BC EE 43 71 98 D4 darxus@op.net / http://www.op.net/~darxus "There is no spoon." _______________________________________________ PLUG maillist - PLUG@lists.nothinbut.net http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
