This is the README file for WWW::PkgFind, a tool for retrieving packages
(tarballs, patches, etc.) posted to web pages. It is suitable for being
run as a cronjob to watch a website for new package releases, and
download the packages that match your acceptance criteria.
This was designed for use in an automated testing environment, where you
want to watch some open source project's websites for new releases of
tarballs, patches, etc. and automatically retrieve them and queue them
for processing.
For more information on how to use the script, see the
pod documentation via the command
perldoc WWW::PkgFInd
perldoc pkgfind
or, after installation, view the man pages with
man WWW::PkgFind
man pkgfind
For instructions on how to install the script, see the file INSTALL.
Problems, questions, etc. may be sent to bryce@osdl.org
