Detailed Description

get-projects: Get projects from Freshmeat.com

get-projects [-h] -f <fully-qualified uncompressed xml file>

Using wget get-projects obtains the following types of archives: *.tgz, .bz2, *.zip. Places the archives in the standard FOSS area in a directory called goldenyymmdd, where yy is the year, mm is the month and dd is the day.

If none of the above archives exist, the project is skipped and recorded in the file 'skipped_fmprojects' in the output directory.

All packages that were successfully obtained are written into the file called Archives-to-Load.
