SYNOPSIS

dl10n-spider [options] lang+

DESCRIPTION

This script parses the debian-l10n-<language> mailing list archives. It looks for emails which title follow a specific format indicating what the author intend to translate, or the current status of his work on this translation.

Those informations are saved to a dl10n database which can then be used to build a l10n coordination page or any other useless statistics.

get_header(\s-1HTML\s0)

get_header extract the email header from the html page. This header starts at <!--X-Head-of-Message--> and stops at <!--X-Head-of-Message-End-->. As it contains html tags, they are also removed.

It gets a reference to an array of line (\s-1HTML\s0) containing the html code of the page.

It returns a reference to an array containing the email header lines.

get_message(\s-1LANGUAGE\s0, \s-1YEAR\s0, \s-1MONTH\s0, \s-1MESSAGE\s0)

get_message requests message to the archives of a l10n mailling.

It gets the language string (\s-1LANGUAGE\s0), year (\s-1YEAR\s0), month (\s-1MONTH\s0) and message number (\s-1MESSAGE\s0) integers.

It return a reference to an array containing the html lines or 'undef' if an error occured.

get_indexpage

retrieves all messages numbers and subjects from a page of messages sorted by date. It return a hash table with message number as keys and subject as values (this is really quicker than retrieving each message).
