Bug 174366 – mail-client/mutt-1.5.15-r1 DEPEND lynx || w3m, should include www-client/elinks

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jieryn 2007-04-13 03:53:19 UTC]

Many of us prefer www-client/elinks over www-client/lynx. Please allow us to use this as a viable option to the mutt sidebar patch. Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

It has nothing to do with the sidebar patch. The dependency is there for documentation building.

Ok, I was told by a voiced person in #gentoo that it was related to the sidebar patch.. I will not make the mistake of trusting them again. However, is it truly the case that ONLY lynx or w3m will satisfy the requirement to build documentation? Your statement seems highly suspect..

If you don't belive me, thats fine. Se the code if you like:

From doc/Makefile.am:

---8<---
check:
manual.txt: manual.html
        -lynx -dump -nolist -with_backspaces $^ > $@ || w3m -dump $^ > $@
---8<---

I *could* take a patch to build the documentation with links, elinks, whatever
you want. But I definitely don't care enough myself.

[Comment 6 jieryn 2007-04-13 14:38:40 UTC]

I've included a patch which I gave a quick test on. It worked.. would you please include it, and ebuild support for www-client/elinks? Thanks!

[Comment 7 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2007-04-13 14:39:24 UTC]

Great. Will apply in next release of the ebuild.

I suggest you send the patch to http://dev.mutt.org too, so everybody can benefit from it.

Lets resolve this as ->UPSTREAM then. I'll reopen it and apply locally if brendan drops the patch.

Thanks.

This was incorporated upstream. :-) I have no idea about their release cycle though.. will we see a -rX release for Gentoo? I don't recall ever having the lynx || w3m dependency with mutt before..

[Comment 11 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2007-04-13 20:15:24 UTC]

I've just seen that brendan applied your patch.

You've never seen that dependency because I added it recently, it was missing.

I don't think such a small patch warrants a revision bump in Gentoo, however, if there is a revbump, I'll make sure to include your patch.

I hope thats fair enough.

Thanks.
