Description Tassilo Horn 2004-06-24 08:08:37 UTC

Hi,

I'd like to use emacs-w3m for viewing HTML-Mails in Gnus. app-emacs/emacs-w3m seems to depend on flim and apel. But with these two installed I run in troubles with gnus. With flim I cannot send mail with Gnus and with apel my summary buffer looks strange. All topics are gone...

The emacs-w3m homepage [1] says that emacs-w3m doesn't have any dependencies if you use an Emacs >21.x. So why flim and apel?

The main part of the package doesn't depend on apel and flim, but the shimbun
library depends on flim (hence it requires apel). If this causes breakage with gnus,
I'll remove them from DEPEND and add einfo() to pkg_setup() or pkg_postinst().
I'll do this change this weekend.
