Also, core-cpan-diff no longer uses wget.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of changes: Porting/core-cpan-diff | 3 +-- Porting/makerel | 14 ++++++-------- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/Porting/core-cpan-diff b/Porting/core-cpan-diff index 1c47dc4..ac4f1c5 100644 --- a/Porting/core-cpan-diff +++ b/Porting/core-cpan-diff @@ -45,7 +45,6 @@ use constant SRC_DIR => 'tarballs'; use constant UNTAR_DIR => 'untarred'; use constant DIFF_CMD => 'diff'; -use constant WGET_CMD => 'wget'; sub usage { print STDERR "\n@_\n\n" if @_; @@ -636,7 +635,7 @@ sub get_distribution { if ( -f $download_file and !-s $download_file ) { - # wget can leave a zero-length file on failed download + # failed download might leave a zero-length file unlink $download_file; } diff --git a/Porting/makerel b/Porting/makerel index 9084ac8..698d42b 100755 --- a/Porting/makerel +++ b/Porting/makerel @@ -8,14 +8,12 @@ # Cygwin and ensure its 'bin' folder is on the PATH in the shell where you run # this script.
