I suggest to package a utility that would regularly update ls-R files for the ftp area. This might be a frequent task on ftp sites, so it deserves to be done by a package; perhaps, not in the anonftp package itself, but in a separate one. 

The draft of the script that would do this is attached; it should be called from /etc.cron.daily/.

ls-R files are useful, because many popular FTP clients like Firefox don't provide an analogue of "ls -R" or "find" command.

В 4.0/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.
