Re: [Bug-wget] nettle-3.4.tar.gz isn't actually compressed

[Tomas Hozza]

Hi Tim.

I got a bug report in Fedora 27 for this issue 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1532233). I checked the git 
repository and I don't see any fix there yet. Do you have any ETA for the fix? 
Unless you plan a new bugfix release soon, I would like to backport the fix to 
our Fedora package.

Thank you.

Regards,
Tomas
