wget -O needs to be passed as first argument about u-root HOT 6 CLOSED

I see -O twice, are you sure it did not pull it down to a file name -O?

from u-root.

it's not that it is positional, it's that the go flag package takes the standard of switches first and then args.

wget's rules around args are very non-standard, but we have little choice but to honor them, including the -- I suppose. Quite the mess.

Bad copy paste

man wget | grep '^ *--'|wc
wow. 174 options.
This is truly a work of art.

@rminnich yeah... Sometimes less is more.
Idea is not to try to replicate all of them, but i'm not sure it's acceptable that -O is not respected after an URL. I kinda agree that src:dst idiom is applied in all scripts I have came across. Kinda weird to expect dst:src.

Nothing can be done here? Even if ugly, if wget is dealing only with one argument (-O) it should tolerate having dst passed after source.

Then asking on a use case basis for fix where too tight on expression should be possible for all other u-root applets. But serisouly.... Without wget support, its impossible to get anything "in".
