Version: 0.27-1
Severity: minor
Hello.
There is a documentation bug in nget. The man page says about the --text option:
--text ignore,files,mbox[:filename]
... The name of the mbox file to
save in can be specified with mbox:filename, the default is nget.mbox. ...
When the "filename" is an absolute path, then the operation will fail. Inspecting the source code revealed that no directory part is allowed in
"filename". It must be a pure basename. The file will then end up in the same directory as the downloaded binaries. The documentation should state
that.
