I am using www-client/links as the default command line web browser. When I update app-text/xmlto from 0.0.26-r1 to 0.0.28-r1, it wants to pull virtual/w3m and thus www-client/w3m, because the text use flag is now set by default. Actual result: The text use flag requires virtual/w3m, www-client/lynx or www-client/elinks. Expected result: www-client/links should be also supported. www-client/elinks is just a fork of www-client/links but both branches are still in development. A possible solution would also be adding a virtual/links package, which is similar to the virtual/w3m package (which allows either www-client/w3m or www-client/w3mmee).
Quick fix would be replacing line text? ( || ( virtual/w3m www-client/lynx www-client/elinks ) ) with text? ( || ( virtual/w3m www-client/lynx www-client/elinks www-client/links ) )
This was discussed in the forums, it's Gentoo following upstream: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1089662-start-0.html
The change which has been done in upstream was adding elinks as an additional option. elinks is preferred, but links is still supported. As Gentoo recommends links in the official installation guide[1], I assume, that links must still be supported. mike155 also states in the forums that this is a Gentoo issue, because a Gentoo developer suggested that change to upstream. He also proofed that elinks is discontinued and not supported in OpenBSD, for example.
