Currently apt-cyg has a circular dependency on wget. This can be resolved the
following ways, but each has problems
- setup-x86_64
you can run a command like "setup-x86_64 -qP wget" but this is not desirable
because it just spawns the gui, which was probably what apt-cyg was designed
to prevent in the first place
- using /dev/tcp
this is a good solution but does not work for "https://" URLs
- using telnet
this is a windows component but is disabled by default
- using curl
like wget, this does not come with base Cygwin
- using powershell
this is available for XP and later, but only comes preinstalled with Windows 7
and later
This commit would allow a "wget" Bash function to be used if "wget.exe" is not
found, for example
http://github.com/svnpenn/dotfiles/blob/19b7b76/.bashrc#L54-L67
My function uses powershell, but a function using any of the above methods would
work.
