Re: Bootstrap with old Python

Hm,

as written in the README.md:

# Downloading and building from tarball

                wget https://gnuwget.gitlab.io/wget2/wget2-latest.tar.gz
                tar xf wget2-latest.tar.gz
                cd wget2-*
                ./configure
                make
                make check
                sudo make install

That tarball is updated with every successful CI build of the master branch.

Regards, Tim
