Hello,
I find it a bit annoying that I end up with all of the following
information after building wget:
> ./src/wget --version
GNU Wget 1.19.1.25-92bf-dirty built on darwin10.8.0.
-cares +digest -gpgme -https +ipv6 -iri +large-file -metalink -nls
-ntlm +opie -psl -ssl
Wgetrc:
/usr/local/etc/wgetrc (system)
Compile:
/usr/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DSYSTEM_WGETRC="/usr/local/etc/wgetrc"
-DLOCALEDIR="/usr/local/share/locale" -I. -I../../wget-from-git/src
-I../lib -I../../wget-from-git/lib
-I/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/include -DNDEBUG -arch ppc
-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.5
Link:
/usr/bin/gcc -DNDEBUG -arch ppc -isysroot
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -arch ppc
-L/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib -isysroot
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 ftp-opie.o
../lib/libgnu.a -liconv
In particular: why should the user be aware of the exact path where I
had wget stored on my hard drive (-I../../wget-from-git/src), of the
fact that I didn't configure in-place and why should the user bother
with so many environmental variables and the fact that the binary was
cross-compiled?
Is there any way to remove all that information?
The first part is reasonable (even if I don't like the fact that the
exact OS version is hardcoded; after security updates the binary will
change only due to the increased minor version, so reproducibility is
lost):
GNU Wget 1.19.1.25-92bf-dirty built on darwin10.8.0.
-cares +digest -gpgme -https +ipv6 -iri +large-file -metalink -nls
-ntlm +opie -psl -ssl
Wgetrc:
/usr/local/etc/wgetrc (system)
but I would like to have a way to avoid storing so many details in the
second part.
