About:
WebPack is a shell script for automatically packing Web sites by shrinking them without affecting their functionality or appearance. It is also useful for losslessly shrinking image collections and locating corrupt files. It works by stripping unnecessary information and optimizing the compression of images, and by removing comments/whitespace from HTML, using readily-available tools.

[»] -f doesn't work on 0.6 beta
by Nigel Horne - Aug 28th 2005 01:05:18

The -f option is supposed to "Force overwrite of existing files", but if you use it you get:

"ERROR - source and destination are the same directory"

Obviously they're the same if you're going to overwrite existing files!

    Webpack was never intended to operate in-place, it is designed to create a compressed copy of your website, and this compressed version is the one you upload. What you saw is an intentional safety check to stop you compressing (and possibly corrupting) your "source" website.
    The -f option forces overwriting of existing files in the destination directory.

      Maybe that's what you meant it to say, but that isn't what it implies. The way the wording is written of the "usage" message, is that the -f option will force to ignore that. The message is open to misinterpretation, which is never a good idea for help messages ;-)

[»] Is webpack dead?
by Nigel Horne - Jul 3rd 2005 05:43:57

The email address in the README bounces, so the product may be dead:

----- Transcript of session follows -----

    Not quite, just having issues with webhosting - mail to ezza@kludgesoft.net will work (have updated freshmeat settings).
