Hi all,

Sorry, I'm new here. May I ask a question in this list: There is a 
vulnerability issue with wget (see below pls.). Newest wget in opencsw is GNU 
Wget 1.16.3. Is it intended to release a fixed version of wget here soon?

Generally asked: Is there any process that ensures the fix of security issues 
in the opencsw project?
