Package: wget Version: 1.13-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Try this (stupid example):
wget -m -np -A *.txt -X */2011/* http://www.debian.org/News/ wget still traverses the entire 2011 hierarchy, even though it should really just ignore it. As a reminder, here is the info page entry for -X: `-X LIST' `--exclude-directories=LIST' Specify a comma-separated list of directories you wish to exclude from download (see "Directory-Based Limits"). Elements of LIST may contain wildcards. It says "exclude from download", which may mean that it should still crawl the contents for links to contents outside of the listed directories. However, in the context of its counterpart -I, which says "follow when downloading", I think the intended use is to not follow links into the listed directories. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wget depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.0.3 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-8 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.13-18 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcrypt11 1.4.6-9 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.12.7-7 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.10-0.3 library for common error values an ii libidn11 1.22-3 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime wget recommends no packages. wget suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
