>Description:
Someone wasn't paying adequately close attention when they wrote the IPv6
patch to wget, I guess. They broke the '-I' flag due to a mis-alphabetization.
Function init.c:comind() requires the commands[] structure to be strictly
alphabetized, which it isn't after the application of wget's patch-ae.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install wget from the -current pkgsrc release.
Run "wget -I foo http://www.mit.edu", note the error you get:
"get: BUG: unknown command `includedirectories', value `foo'."
>Fix:
Note that init.c EXPLICITLY documents itself to indicate that additions to
commands[] must be made *alphabetically*. wget/patches/patch-ae ignores this,
or else was written by someone with an inadequate knowledge of ASCII
alphabetization, as it files "inet" and "inet6" *before* "includedirectories".
The correct fix is to change patch-ae to something like this:
*** init.c.orig Thu Sep 10 20:20:23 1998
--- init.c Sat Sep 16 02:31:41 2000
