Remove wget dep

[oech3]

Painful dependency. Finalize #9258

[github-actions]

GNU testsuite comparison:

Skipping an intermittent issue tests/misc/tee (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)

[sylvestre]

why painful?

[oech3]

Because wget could not be default set of distro.

Thanks!

Is curl https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/archive/refs/tags/v9.9.tar.gz faster than git clone?

[cakebaker]

I think it is comparing apples to oranges: the curl example is about downloading a single file whereas git clone is about downloading an entire repository. My guess is that curl is faster as the download size is smaller.

[oech3]

Or can we switch to --depth=1? I don't know how to apply it to ./vootstrapping gnulib. But --depth=1 coreutils seems OK.

[cakebaker]

Maybe --shallow-submodules? From the git clone man page: "All submodules which are cloned will be shallow with a depth of 1."

What are you trying to accomplish?

[oech3]

trying to reduce tome to build and disk space (build-gnu.sh could be used out side of CI too)

[oech3]

It seems git clone is embedded at *.yml
