wget2 compilation through virtualization

Available translations: Français

In order to mirror websites for some old ones at Communications Department, as HTTrack is no more developed, and wget at 1.* branch had some annoying limitations, but its new 2.* development branch was too recent to be available in Debian stable repository (codenamed Bullseye, v.11, at time of this project), I started some new project of a virtual machine configuration allowing compiling this new branch of wget.

Tools:

Vagrant + VirtualBox (provider) + Bash (provisionning)

Processes:

  • version control through git

  • split of provisionning in several steps singly runnable

  • idempotent Bash scripts

  • documentation
