[Bug-wget] next wget release?

[Noël Köthe]

Hello,

I don't want to pester with this question but when is the next wget
release planed? 1.12 was released 2009-09-22 and since then there were
some bugfixes and patches integrated in the VCS but they do not reach
the user.

Thank you.

Re: [Bug-wget] Bug in WGET?

Hello,

Patrick Steil patr...@churchbuzz.org writes:

 If I run this command:

 wget www.domain.org/news?page=1 options= -r --no-clobber --html-extension
 --convert-links -np --include-directories=news

 Here is what it does today:

 1.  When --html-extension is turned on, the --noclobber is not changing the
 name of the downloaded files, but it DOES rewrite the file as the date/time
 stamp changes every time I run the above command.

I couldn't reproduce it.  I have `strace'd but I can't see any syscall
which could modify the time stamp.  Can you please attach the strace
and the wget debug log?  You can get it by:

strace -o strace.log wget args -d -o wget.log



 2.  If I turn off --html-extension, then as soon as WGET sees that the first
 file has already been downloaded it stops and does not continue to
 spider/download any further pages.

AFAICS, the behaviour you get using --no-clobber and -r is documented,
and it should work exactly as you described it (a newer version is
ignored).  The old version is still traversed for links.

Cheers,
Giuseppe
