Yes I agree about the compatibility, very brainless to just go and remove them, I can't imagine how many scripts thats going to break let alone all my stuff... It changed from Centos 4.1 to 4.2, Wget versions 1.9 to 1.10

the best thing is to regress Wget or bypass it from the yum update process, can anyone remind me of what to put in yum to avoid updating wget?

Would a wget shell alias or function that tests for the presence of " -C " and replaces it with the long option be worthwhile?

And you can see the changelog for the RPM which may explain the justification for the change with something like...

$ rpm -q --changelog wget

Will.
