scripts: Fix using deprecated/removed wget option #836
Conversation
Recent wget versions don't have the --show-progress option anymore and will generate a "wget: unrecognized option '--show-progress'" error (this happens e.g. with latest Fedora). The correct option to use seems to be --progress=bar, which should do the same thing. Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <[email protected]>

Note: I wasn't able to verify this on Windows, but I'd assume the same option should work there as well. |

wget2 is not wget, and Fedora made a mistake of trying to replace wget with wget2.
See #771 (comment).
Fedora should fix this, not us.
p.s. See also #771 (comment). RHEL 10 reverted this mistake as well.

This results in progress bar not showing up at all in the "real wget."

Thanks @stephanosio, I wasn't aware of this wget vs wget2 distinction. I completely agree Fedora is at fault, however the current end result is that new Zephyr users who follow our getting started guide end up having a negative experience - I wonder if there's something we could still do, e.g. mention this somewhere in the documentation, or even try to work around it in the setup script? |
