[Bug-wget] Implementing feature request #29518

[Leonard Ehrenfried]

Hi,

I have read the wiki page
about how to contribute
to wget and found a bug in the tracker, that sounds
like something I could tackle: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?29518

Quick summary: It is requesting for a command line switch that would delete
URLs from an input file if they have successfully downloaded.

I don't think this would be too difficult to do but I want to check with the
list first if that is something which needs prior discussion/voting to see
whether this feature is worth including.

Thanks
Lenni

Hello Stefan Tomanek,

SELinux absolutely no.  ACLs are only very rarely used by me.

I had a filesystem with 15 U320 (<230 MByte/sec)  drives  of  300 GByte,
mean realy fast and expensive drives but with arround 180mio  INODES  it
took more then 3 days to recover from a crash, since then I have  stoped
SELinux and ACL plus some other tools which write several  million  ZERO
size files into the filesystem.

The biggest problem was, I was not warned about this mess. Same for "The
Gimp" and VLC, mean, I set the diretory permission to 000 and  does  not
more allow to write to it.  If a program crash because it can not write
its crap, I deinstall it and will never recommend it to anyone..

Note:   Programs which disallow to disable such things are crap.

So for "wget" it should only  be  used  if  the  user  set  explicite  a
commandline option or in the wgetrc.  Of course, it should not activated
hardcoded or as a default in the wgetrc.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
Michelle Konzack

Dear angry user, it's matter of configuration. You can compile curl/wget
without a feature, you can disable it in system wide configuration file,
a user can do the same in his own configuration file or explicitly in
arguments of the utility.

We can discuss what's ideal default option, you can talk about it with your
operating system vendor or you can do it yourself (yes, Gentoo rules :).

I don't think storing the urls in an extra attribute should be the
default, but seems
a good feature to add.

Sorry, I fail to see how your stories affect the feature described and
implemented in this patch.
