Description Tomasz Ostrowski 2005-01-28 10:20:52 UTC

Description of problem:
Wget sets last access time of downloaded file to it's modify time. If
a file is saved to /tmp or /var/tmp then next tmpwatch cron job will
delete just downloaded files. This can cause the waste of bandwidth
and, in some cases, loss of data - it is supposed that a file will
stay in /tmp for 10 days and in /var/tmp for 30.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wget-1.9.1-17
tmpwatch-2.9.1-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
cd /tmp
wget
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/MD5SUM
su -
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
ls -gG /tmp/MD5SUM

Actual results:
ls: /tmp/MD5SUM: No such file or directory

Expected results:
-rw-r--r--  1 791 Nov  4 00:00 /tmp/MD5SUM

Additional info:
I've stepped on this wget I set downloading Fedora Core 3 iso's to
/var/tmp last night and found out today that the files are missing.

I think wget should only change modify time on downloaded files, not
access time.

Please try wget-1.9.1-19 from Rawhide
