GNU Wget Mailing Lists
The wget and wget-patches mailing lists are kindly hosted at SunSITE Denmark thanks to Karsten Thygesen. To subscribe, send an email to list-name-subscribe@sunsite.dk. For instance, to subscribe to the wget-patches list send an empty mail to:
wget-patches-subscribe@sunsite.dk
To post to a list, send your email to list-name@sunsite.dk. The lists are open for posting by non-subscribers. If you send a post to the list and you're not subscribed, please include a note that you'd like to be cc'd in replies to your post. Otherwise people may assume you are subscribed and delete your address when replying so as not to send you two copies of their posts.
For back posts, send an email to list-name-get.first_last@sunsite.dk. The mail server limits the number of returned back posts to 100, so requesting more will actually return you only posts in range first - first+99. For instance, sending an email to the following address will retrieve posts 3500 to 3517:
wget-get.3500_3517@sunsite.dk
To unsubscribe from a list, send an email to list-name-unsubscribe@sunsite.dk. For more information on list commands, send an email to list-name-help@sunsite.dk.
Here are the current publicly-available mailing lists related to Wget:
wget
This is the main Wget discussion list. Currently the Wget bug reporting address, bug-wget@gnu.org, simply forwards to this list.
There are archives of the main Wget list at http://www.mail-archive.com/wget%40sunsite.dk/ and http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.general.
The wget list is bidirectionally gatewayed to sunsite.wget, a local newsgroup on sunsite.dk.
wget-patches
- If you're submitting a patch to Wget to fix a bug or add a feature, please send it to this list.
If it's not for something that's already being tracked by the BugTracker, you should probably discuss it on the main wget list first, to ensure that it's a change that others find appropriate and desirable. If it's not a small change, it's also a good idea to keep others up-to-date on how you're going about your changes, so you don't write a large patch only to find out that the developers don't want to include it because they've decided that the architecture is not suitable.
There are archives of the wget-patches list at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.patches.
wget-notify
There is also a mailing list which automatically receives any bug updates from the BugTracker: wget-notify@addictivecode.org (this list is not hosted by sunsite.dk). This list used to also receive commit notifications from Subversion; but since migrating to Mercurial, the preferred notification method for repositories is to subscribe to the relevant RSS feed for the repositories you're interested in. The RSS/Atom feeds are available via links from the web views of the repositories.
The conventions for subscribing to wget-notify are different from the ones for subscribing to the sunsite.dk lists. Subscription information may be found here.
