-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 A bug was submitted to Ubuntu's Malone bugtracker, complaining that - --background shoud not create a wget-log file when --quiet has been specified:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wget/+bug/135063 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?20917 This seems reasonable to me, despite the fact that there are a few logs that can still be issued, even when --quiet is specified: the likelihood of needing those is much lower than the likelihood that the user will be irritated by an empty wget.log appearing whenever they use --background, if --quiet was specified :) Stefan Lendl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has been good enough to prepare a patch to resolve this issue; however, we did run across a potential issue. If --server-response is enabled, even if --quiet was specified, FTP server responses will still be issued (however, HTTP server responses will _not_ be). First of all, this is obviously an inconsistency: we should pick one behavior or the other for FTP and HTTP alike. Second, which is the correct behavior? Is it reasonable to expect that someone issuing - --quiet -S actually wants the server responses (and nothing else), or should --quiet override -S (or, even conflict with it)? It seems to me, that a person wanting not much more output than -S will still be wanting -nv to say so, rather than -q. --quiet seems like it should be, well, quiet. Unless the sky is falling. If we take out the server responses from --quiet, then the only message it would ever issue would be for xmalloc failure. I think we can live with that not showing up in backgrounded wgets (after all, if they wanted to be notified when something went wrong, well, they wouldn't issue --quiet, now would they? :) ) - -- Micah J.
