I think Achim's suggestion is excellent. Each downloader (prozilla, |
| 10 |
bsdftp,wget) should install a script into /usr/lib/portage/bin called |
| 11 |
{app}.fetch. It can be written in any language (C,python,bash) as |
| 12 |
long as it can be called from the command-line. It should accept one |
| 13 |
or more URLs as arguments. Do we need any command-line options? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Maybe a --passive option to force a passive ftp session? Right now |
| 16 |
there are ftp servers that are passive only, and others that are active |
| 17 |
only. Maybe we need some new URL types: ftpa:// ftpp:// ? |
