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
