zimfw upgrade messages

i got these messages when running zimfw upgrade on some of my machines, what does it mean to my system?

# macOS 10.15.2

while on another archlinux box, i don't get these messages. all zimfw are newly installed via curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh

found the cause, it is due to wget, _zimfw_upgrade tries to use wget firstly if found, but wget does not give quiet enough output even with zimfw upgrade -q.

functions _zimfw_upgrade

       ...
	if (( ${+commands[wget]} ))
		then
			command wget -nv -O ${ztarget}.new ${zurl} || return 1
       ...

man wget

-nv
       --no-verbose
           Turn off verbose without being completely quiet (use -q for that), which means that error messages and basic information still get

Exactly, and wget -q will also suppress the error messages, which I think is not a good idea. The messages you see are even printed to stderr. I just learned to accept that this is how wget works, and I agree it can be annoying! There are workarounds for this annoyance, but I also want to avoid making the code more complex because of that.

Something I'm considering is adding a -v verbose flag to zimfw. So in this case we can do wget -q unless you're calling zimfw upgrade -v.

just swap curl and wget, make curl the first choice, on most *nix systems, curl is installed by default.
