Hello,

I've noticed that wget is gone from 4.3. Was this a planned change? Is
it possible to include at least wget or fetch to allow downloading of
custom configs?

Thanks,
Ben

I can't confirm right at the moment, but I believe busybox's wget would
still be available. Try:

$ busybox wget [url]

You won't get SSL support though (and a few other perks).

tbh leaving wget was an error on my part. I was desperately trying to
make the size smaller.

the artwork script currently depends on wget and that would probably fail in 4.3

I'll take onboard Chris's tip and fix up the script and do a new
release during the weekend.


Kind regards,

Ben

version # should I look for?

Yes it will be re-added since I have not been able to implement
busybox option that Chris suggested.

Please see http://groups.google.com/group/webc-users/browse_thread/thread/77d0b5f6d310ea0f#
about a new release.
