Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Pybombs install fetch fail

[Martin Braun]

The only problem here is that we have a fetcher called 'wget' which is
actually a badly chosen name for 'a python requests fetcher for tarballs
over http'.

So please, leave the wget+ in source URLs if they point to tarballs, and
sorry for the name 'wget'. I'll blame PyBOMBS 1 code :)
