owner 834177 anarcat@debian.org thanks Just to let you know that there's also a Python version of this that's called "wayback" and seems slightly better maintained, although I've heard this one (wayback-machine-downloader) might be "better", it's clear the repo mentioned about has been inactive for years and one must find The Right Fork going forward. For now I'll be taking a look at the python version, wayback. A.
noowner 834177 thanks So I've done that. I've audited the code and did some basic packaging (mostly thanks to py2dsp, but i did the job in full), and the result is here: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/waybackpack waybackpack works, but with one major limitation: it downloads only a single URL at a time, not an entire site. so I'm abandoning the packaging for now, anyone feel free to pick it up and just upload it if you feel like it, but i don't quite see the point myself. now i guess we need to find the right machine-downloader fork now... a.
