Hi dear GNU wget developers (Tim et al.),
The 'bootstrap' script from Gnulib has been reorganized to work in two phases:
(1) Fetch auxiliary files that are not in the git checkout.
This is the part that requires network access and that has
supply-chain concerns.
(2) Generate files such as configure, config.h, Makefile.in etc.
This includes running gnulib-tool.
See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2022-07/msg00053.html> for
details.
For GNU wget2 some adjustment of the bootstrap.conf is needed: The clone_wiki
invocation, which makes network accesses, needs to be moved from the
bootstrap_post_import_hook to the bootstrap_post_pull_hook.
This adjustment will be needed the next time you use the '--bootstrap-sync'
option.
