Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-09-15 Followup-For: Bug #92959 (Include the long description here.) Larbin is a web crawler (also called (web) robot, spider, scooter...). It is intended to fetch a large number of web pages to fill the database of a search engine. With a network fast enough, Larbin should be able to fetch more than 100 millions pages on a standard PC. Larbin is (just) a web crawler (coded in C & C++), NOT an indexer. You have to write some code yourself in order to save pages or index them in a database. Larbin was initially developped for the XYLEME project in the VERSO team at INRIA. The goal of Larbin was to go and fetch xml pages on the web to fill the database of an xml-oriented search engine. Thanks to its origins, Larbin is very generalistic (and easy to customize). I (Basile) am not the author of Larbin, but I did use and patch it. my email is basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net; my web page is http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/index_en.html -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux hector.lesours 2.4.18 #11-basile_portable Mon Jun 3 07:09:41 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
