OK, that explains it. I read the first three paragraphs, saw "Legal indicators |
| 24 |
are 'dot' and 'bar'" and figured there were two options - verbose with lots |
| 25 |
of dots or concise with 50 dashes. That'll teach me to assume :-) |

[man wget's is getting like bash, screen, nmap and mplayer's man pages...] |

But there's something else at work here - this change happened on my mchine |
| 30 |
within the last 6 weeks. The last emerge of wget here was Aug 17. So what |
| 31 |
changed with portage? |
