Did you already get any feedback from your colleagues ? They didn't rebuild (not easy in that environment), but they thought it should work too. Might as well go for it. Thanks for checking. --karl

Please test the attached patch that addresses the pod2man issue. I can't test it myself, but I'll pass it on to my Mac-using colleagues. It looks like it should do the job. Thanks. --karl

the right thing to do is to listen to the Tim's opinion, Sure. I meant no disrespect! Everything he said was perfectly reasonable, just insufficient for my purposes :). (Thanks Tim.) since he is one of the maintainers I did not know. He's not listed in the maintainers file ...

I understand, though don't completely agree with, Tim's pessimistic scenario. In any case, my wish is that there be a way to get rid of the warning message (other than being completely silent). Whether it is done via changing --no-check-cert or via some new/other option doesn't matter to me. I

[Bug-wget] warning about unknown .wgetrc directives

2014-04-02 Thread Karl Berry
Giuseppe et al., I suggest making unknown .wgetrc directives a warning (and just ignore them, proceeding on normally), rather than a failure. For purposes of compatibility - a person might have a brand-new wget on system A, but for whatever reason, have to run an older wget on system B. But

Re: [Bug-wget] libssl-prefix and wget 1.15

2014-01-22 Thread Karl Berry
if someone has already a recipe for the openssl detection I could not debug it further than I did because the configure.ac in the tarball did not seem to match the generated configure. See items 1-2 in my report :). Hence I did not know where the /lib64 craziness was actually coming from.

[Bug-wget] libssl-prefix and wget 1.15

2014-01-20 Thread Karl Berry
Hi Giuseppe and anyone, Congratulations on the new release. 1. configure.ac in wget-1.15 has a final copyright year of 2011. Surely that needs updating. 2. Although the generated configure script in the wget-1.15.tar.xz archive has stuff for --with-libssl-prefix (= LIBSSL_PREFIX), I do not see
