Re: [Bug-wget] nettle-3.4.tar.gz isn't actually compressed

[Tim Rühsen]

There already has been a discussion about that (starting here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2017-11/msg00000.html).

Looks like we didn't fix it correctly.

Currently, to disable gzip compression at all: add
  compression = none
to ~/.wgetrc and/or /etc/wgetrc.

We'll fix it the next days and make up a new release then.

Interestingly, the change was introduced on 25th of July - and there was
no complaint until 1st of November. I guess we have a very limited base
of testers :-(


With Best Regards, Tim
