Sasha,
Thanks for the patch! I see there was an issue with upstream, therefore
you moved the link to github release. However I still don't get your
motivation for replacing wget with curl (and as I see in the v1 review
neither does Sasha Tu.). Could you please provide a bit more extended
rationale for such substitution?
