FAQ needed (was wget: relative link to non-relative)

2002-10-17 Thread Herold Heiko

This seems to be a bad timeframe for most developers or skilled individuals
following wget, mostly due to real-world time constrainsts as far as I
understand.

This means most "easy" questions won't be answered even by those
developers/experts who still do look into the list whenever possible.
With "easy" questions I mean those who can be answered by reading thoroughly
the documentation or by digging through the archives (the archive at
mail-archive.com seems to be rather complete), although I admit sometimes it
is not very easy finding the correct posts. Still, I think there is a set of
usual questions posted from time to time (site not downloadable without
--user-agent ecc.).

What I think is needed is some kind of wget-usage-FAQ. Which means somebody
needs to step up for maintaining it - anybody volunteers ? In-depth wget
knowledge would not be needed for that I suppose, just the time for adding
questions and answers when they come up.

It probably should be possible setting up another branch of the website with
access to another individual, or possibly there is some support (scripts) at
sunsite.dk already for automatic bug/faq generation ?

Read the documentation for your shell.
wget never sees the * beacuse the shell has already globbed with it.

Also, please keep discussions on-list.
