elinks[-lite] doesn't provide links anymore
Hi debian-devel, Beginning elinks 0.11.3-2, the elinks and elinks-lite binary packages don't "Provides: links" anymore (See bug #154859 and Debian ELinks GIT commit a885ecead29f808310e6c2908f59f59a8d69b3ac). The links alternative isn't installed. The following binary and source packages declare Depends or Build-Depends on links alone and should be modified to respectively declare Depends or Build-Depends on links | elinks | elinks-lite (or just links | elinks if some feature not available in elinks-lite is being used). Some of these have www-browser in the dependency but I am not sure if elinks is invoked as links somewhere, so I've included those to be on the safe side.

The links alternative > > isn't installed. > > Wouldn't have providing a links executable been a better solution? The codebase, functionality and CLI options for links and elinks are fast diverging, so calling elinks as links and considering elinks as a links alternative (in the Debian sense) is probably not fair. If a links executable were provided, we should conflict with the links package. > It would have solved the bug but also not broken those other packages. Even though I did not build or test any of those packages, I have a feeling it would not be a very bad breakage, and I am hoping I did not screw up very badly. But there would be users that use elinks as links because of the alternative it used to install. I will: - Document this change in README.Debian - Have elinks install a /usr/bin/links script indicating this change to the user and co-ordinate with the links maintainer for a dpkg-divert. Does that sound reasonable? Cheers, Giridhar -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Please test ELinks from experimental
Hi, I uploaded ELinks 0.12~20080127-2 a few days ago to experimental. If you happen to use ELinks, please test this and report any bugs etc. that you may find. If you don't use ELinks, now is probably a good time to start using it :) This version of ELinks is based on an upstream 0.12 GIT snapshot and enables experimental features and has support for debugging compiled in. 0.12 is not considered stable enough that I can prepare packages based on it for unstable but it has UTF-8 support and a lot of other features and bug fixes. I will update the package in experimental as and when bug reports flow in and when fixes are made by upstream for the same.
