+    <p>
+      WebHTTrack is the web interface to HTTrack, an offline browser utility.
+      It downloads a website from the Internet to a local directory, fetching
+      the HTML, images, and other files and rebuilding the site's link
+      structure so you can browse it offline.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      A step-by-step web interface guides you through choosing the addresses
+      to mirror and the options to apply. Mirrors can be updated in place and
+      interrupted downloads resumed.
+    </p>
+    <p>Typical uses include:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>Keeping an offline copy of a website for reading without a connection</li>
+      <li>Archiving or preserving sites and capturing them for later reference</li>
+      <li>Updating an existing local mirror without downloading it again</li>

Xavier Roche	8dde8dc03c	Ship AppStream MetaInfo for WebHTTrack The Debian AppStream generator flagged both webhttrack desktop entries as no-metainfo: with no MetaInfo file, the catalog entry is synthesized from the .desktop file and the package description, which is deprecated and risks the app being dropped from the metadata catalog. Add com.httrack.WebHTTrack.metainfo.xml (installed to share/metainfo) for the main app, launching WebHTTrack.desktop. Mark the secondary "Browse Mirrored Websites" launcher with X-AppStream-Ignore=true so it doesn't produce a duplicate, metadata-less catalog entry. Validated with appstreamcli validate and desktop-file-validate. Signed-off-by: Xavier Roche <roche@httrack.com>	2026-06-14 21:24:45 +02:00
Xavier Roche	a16820a282	debian: refresh stale webhttrack browser dependency The webhttrack Depends listed iceape-browser, iceweasel, icecat, mozilla, firefox and mozilla-firefox as browser alternatives. All six have been removed from Debian (iceweasel was only ever a firefox-esr stub, firefox is not in Debian main), so qa.debian.org/debcheck flagged them as half-broken relationships. The OR-chain still resolved via the trailing www-browser virtual package, so it was noise rather than a real installability failure. Replace them with firefox-esr \| chromium \| www-browser: two real browsers that exist in Debian today plus the virtual fallback. google-chrome is left out deliberately since it is not in the Debian archive and would reintroduce the same half-broken relationship.
