9 Can we not encourage people to pipe stuff from a plain-http website into
10 an interpreter?

12 But that's not the biggest problem with the wget thing: the first time
13 someone runs this it's going to fail.
14
15 $ wget -O - dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86.py | python

17 Unable to determine PORTDIR, please set it before calling this script

19 Now they get to download it again. Perhaps a bigger problem:
20
21 $ echo $PORTDIR
22 /var/cache/portage/repositories/gentoo
23 $ python cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86.py
24 Unable to determine PORTDIR, please set it before calling this script
