Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev 2003-06-29 09:26:12 UTC
The wget default parameters in /etc/make.globals are not in the strict format.
In Cygwin (work in progress) wget throws an error since it evaluates "-P" as a URL

To fix put ${URI} at the end of the line instead of in the middle of the line
This should also enhance portability / bootstrap-capability

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get Portage working in Cygwin
2. emerge -f anything
3. look at errors and rejoice

Actual Results:  
wget threw an error so that files got fetched from every mirror in make.* ,were
succesfully downloaded and overwritten by the next download.
Also the files were put in the local directory ( . )

Expected Results:  
wget should have downloaded the files to $portagedistfiles directory
