Re: [MiNT] sparemint repository maintaince

A few years ago I modified my sparemint_notify script to
try to download the new packages but I couldn't work out how
to call wget from the script.

This is a section of the script:

    foreach (@obsolete)
    {
      my $download = "$download_url/$_-$current->{$_}->{version}-$current->{$_}->{release}.m68kmint.rpm";
 
      print <<EOF;
 
Package: $_
Installed: $current->{$_}->{version} (installed: $installed->{$_}->{version})
Update   : $current->{$_}->{release} (installed: $installed->{$_}->{release})
download from $download
EOF
      print "Download this package now ? [y/n] ";
      $response = <STDIN>;
      chop $response;
      $lresponse = length($response);
      #print "response is $response\n";
 
      if (   ( $lresponse  == 1 )
          && (( $response eq "y") ¦¦ ($response eq "Y")) )
        {
          print "Downloading... (experimental, might not work) \n";
          wget $current->{$_}->{release};
          #use LWP::Simple;
          #my $content = get{'$current->{$_}->{release}'}
        }
    }


it gives this error:

Can't call method "wget" on unblessed reference at ./sparemint_update line 95, <STDIN> line 2.

So I assume something more is needed to call wget but all the docs I found just
said to use the app name.
