Fedora ships httrack with no patches, but its spec worked around three things that were ours to fix, and its build broke twice in three weeks on changes to our installed file set. The metainfo declared a stock icon that is not one (stock names come from the freedesktop Icon Naming Specification), which appstream-util rejects and which also suppressed the merge from WebHTTrack.desktop that supplies the real icon. libtest/readme.txt carried the pre-2005 FSF postal address. CI and 210_appstream-metainfo.test now run both validators. 225_install-manifest.test pins the installed file set, the class that broke their 3.49.13 and 3.49.18 builds. It found a real bug on its first outing: the .desktop files installed to $(prefix)/share/applications, so any --datadir override put them where no desktop environment looks.

<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>
|
|
</ul>
