Hi, I'd like to merge this patch:
http://crux.nu/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=241
There's servers that use self-signed certificates, which essentially break source retrieval. Any objections?
Regards, Tilman
Yes, if wget is always going to be called with that, I believe it would be better to just do alias wget="wget --no-check-certificate", rather than define a variable to do essentially the same thing.
Here's my version of essentially the same patch, however it adds a variable which controls whether not to call wget with --no-check-certificate and converts to using alias instead of $DOWNLOAD_OPTS/$CHECK_CERT.
Incase the above version is "too much", attached is the basic, no frills patch, which only adds --no-check-certificate to $DOWNLOAD_OPTS, which I think is a better fix than defining a separate variable for one option.
