When support was added, it was flagged as "experimental" and thus disabled by default. From the man page: --content-disposition If this is set to on, experimental (not fully-functional) support for "Content-Disposition" headers is enabled. This can currently result in extra round-trips to the server for a "HEAD" request, and is known to suffer from a few bugs, which is why it is not currently enabled by default. I wouldn't call wget "broken" because of that.

[Slackbuilds-users] BOINC releases: more github downoad URL befuddlement
I know this comes up way to often, but I am stumped. How do I get a proper download URL from github for boinc? On the release page https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/releases when I use a browser (e.g. Firefox) to d/l the tar.gz for client_release/7.8/7.8.6 I get the file: boinc-client_release-7.8-7.8.6.tar.gz the same URL with wget (right-click, copy link location) gives: 7.8.6.tar.gz The URL Firefox displays in the status bar to click on to d/l is: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/archive/client_release/7.8/7.8.6.tar.gz If I extract the URL Firefox ended up using in its download progress window: https://codeload.github.com/BOINC/boinc/tar.gz/client_release/7.8/7.8.6 I get a file named simply "7.8.6" If I use: wget --content-disposition https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/archive/client_release/7.8/7.8.6.tar.gz the downloaded file is as expected: boinc-client_release-7.8-7.8.6.tar.gz Why does this have to be so freaking obscure? Obviously, "7.8.6.tar.gz" is not usable in .info for SBo automated tools. Looking at other github examples was of no help - lots of 'ERROR 404: Not Found.' trying to link to the full file name directly. TL;DR: What do I put in boinc.info for a download URL for release posted on github?

IMO, what's broken is (1) an http tool like wget that by default ignores what the http protocol is telling it. (2) github that doesn't document their download api. (3) projects using stupid tags like 'elementary-xfce-0.11' or 'v0.1.2' or 'Release_3.2.1' instead of just '1.2.3' -D. ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
[Slackbuilds-users] Request for UID/GID allocation in uid_gid.txt for 'chrony'
Hello, I am the maintainer of the SlackBuilds 'chrony' build script (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/network/chrony/). Last week a user of the build script emailed me a patch that moved the scripts support up to Chrony version 3.2 as well as added an rc.chrony start/stop script and made use of version 3.2's ability to run chronyd as a user other than root. I am in the process of updating the build script for resubmission, and so as to avoid UID/GID overlap with other SlackBuild scripts, I am requesting a UID/GID allocation in the uid_gid.txt file for chrony.
