Hi Raion & others,

I know you (Raion) are busy with career change.

I have some good news, having not touched this "project" for over a month.

I reverted most the the $( ) ==> ` ` (backquote) changes (only took around an hour) and tested with _XPG=1 env variable set.

It worked like a breeze!

I tested with recursive fetch of openssl and this went and tried to download files, but due to wget not supporting SSL still it failed.

As the back quote changes were by far the largest set of changes I makes, by avoiding these, I avoid all the debugging of these changes.

I have checked in updated scripts with the reverted code, so things are looking like this might be possible again...

Cheers from Oz,

jwhat/John.
