Summary: Recreate files instead of rewriting them Project: GNU Wget Submitted by: None Submitted on: Mon 26 Aug 2019 09:32:42 AM UTC Category: Feature Request Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Hans-Henrik Stærfeldt Originator Email: h.h.staerfe...@gmail.com Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 1.14 Operating System: GNU/Linux Reproducibility: Every Time Fixed Release: None Planned Release: None Regression: None Work Required: None Patch Included: None _______________________________________________________ Details: In case of a mirror, if existing files need to be rewritten, have an option that re-creates them in case they have more than one reference to the inode, instead of writing new content to the existing inode. This is important, if you need to use hardlinks creatively, and wants wget to write a new file with the new downloaded content, and leave the old hardlinked file copy alone. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56807> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
