A few days ago I decided that I wanted to watch for when new versions of various programs came out. This would be trivial to do, since it would just require checking the last updated time of the html page that links to the download of the software (provided it is not dynamically generated.) I decided to search for a program in yast before trying to write my own. I found specto, whose description reads as follows:
So I, finding that the docs for specto were scarce, decided to run specto -h, can you guess what I got out?
Now, I don't think I need to point out that gstreamer is an audio program and has nothing to do with the intranet (except, perhaps, to send audio across it.) Moreover, there is no place for a url in that syntax definition.
So, is it just me, or is this a different kinda bug?
