Hi,

I noticed that it's been almost one month since the release of GNU Wget 1.17 and yet it is not even in the [testing] repos. Is there anything holding up?

A new bugfix version has just been released and I'd like to see that in the repos as soon as possible. If there's any issues, please let us know so they can be fixed.

Thanking You, Darshit Shah

you might consider building it locally from ABS [0]. it looks like a simple version bump is sufficient, and no other program is linked against it, so you should be fine. to receive the official package once it appears, you could set pkgrel=0, so the official one is regarded as update despite beeing the same.

hope this helps.

I am the one maintaining wget-git on AUR, so I do use the latest version anyways. However, as the maintainer of GNU Wget, I am interested in what keeps Arch Linux from adopting the newest version yet. It's been flagged out of date for almost three months now. If there is something that prevent Arch from shipping it, we'd love to hear and help.
