can someone make a zip file of feed

[b2bpro]

I really want to start using pdaxrom (currently using tkc on my 860) but I\'m having problems getting the networking connected.  I know that I need to fix that, but it can wait.  

What I really want is to be able to load various packages, but its hard to do without being online.  Is it possible to make a zip file available with everything in it that I could just unzip to a CF card and install locally?

Preference would be for 2 files - one stable and one unstable.

This would be much appreciated.

wget -nd -r url/to/feed

?

I mounted my cf under freebsd and could do that command, etc.

If this doesn\'t work, I could make a zip for you of the stable and unstable feeds of pdaxrom....

That worked.  Thanks a lot.  I used the url www.pdaxrom.org/feed.  Do you know if that is the stable or unstable feed?  (its currently downloading so I don\'t know if both sets of packages will be downloaded)

That\'s stable,

unstable is: www.pdaxrom.org/unstable

Just a bit more help - I did the wget using only the url www.pdaxrom.org/feed and it downloaded a ton of stuff (ipks plus other stuff)

However, while downloading I noticed stuff downloading from both /feed  and then from /unstable.  It didn\'t create a sub-dir for the unstable stuff or anything.

Does this mean that the unstable could have overwritten the stable stuff ? or do things only live in one place or the other (ie only new versions of things are promoted to stable from unstable or something).

Plus there is only one Packages file - I presume this tells the installer about dependancies which would change depending on the version.  

I\'m confused - I\'d like to be sure I know what I\'m dealing with.

Thanks

There should be two packages files I\'d say, you may find that the last wget has overwritten the stable stuff.

Just a guess though, I don\'t know much about wget.

actually - I only did the one wget for the \"www.pdaxrom.org/feed\"

I didn\'t do one for the unstable feed.  Thats why I\'m confused.  While downloading I saw several files that said they were downloading from www.pdaxrom.org/unstable.

Its always nice to get some traffic on the server :-) Damm - so many people are almost doing daily downloads of the entire feed dir - maybe some could learn to use http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/

[b2bpro]

while I appreciate the suggestion to use rsync (i\'ll look into it) do you know why I would see \"www.pdaxrom.org/unstable\" while downloading the \"www.pdaxrom.org/feed\" using wget?

[Laze]

b2bpro - i have no idea - there are quite a bit of tricks going on in the feed/unstable folder that counts the number of downloads, but none that refereces accross the two folders. Basically i have no idea.

How do you use rsync to get the feed and unstable feeds? Do you have an example command line? The problem with wget is it downloads everything - I think due to the way you are counting downloads it is not getiting the correct timestamps.

[b2bpro]

Yeah - wget -nd -r url/to/feed  - gets everything and then puts it into one directory so its all a mish-mash.

I tried wget -np -r url/to/feed thinking -np would get everything below /feed - but it also got everything on the site which I don\'t need (and chews up bandwitdh).

I\'m also interested in how to get stuff properly. (I won\'t need to know for a while since I got everything today- that will get me going with the rom so I\'m happy until next time.)

I used to use:  

  wget -A \"*.ipk,*.zip,Packages,*.gz\" -m http://www.pdaxrom.org/feed

And seperately got

  wget http://www.pdaxrom.org/feed/Packages

because sometimes it didn\'t get it with the first line. This used to only download the newer ipks. Since the \'download counting\' stuff was put in it gets everything.
