The history converted from CVS is not in repo.or.cz though, so keep
referring to pasky.or.cz for that. (We don't seem to use
"gitweb.elinks.cz", which is a DNS alias for pasky.or.cz.)
<paakku> Do you think we should maybe point people to gitweb at
repo.or.cz rather than pasky.or.cz?
<pasky> absolutely
<pasky> actually I thought we already are pointing people at
repo.or.cz
<pasky> at least there was some movement to do that already, I believe
:)
I don't think there is any point in keeping this file when users can
easily run elinks -no-home -config-dump to get an equivalent one.
The result won't include options for features that were disabled at
configure time, but the users won't need those options either.
Furthermore, if this file is installed as /etc/elinks/elinks.conf like
contrib/debian/rules does, and people then modify it, they cannot
easily upgrade to changed defaults in later ELinks versions; these
changes may even be security-related, like ecmascript.enable in the
upcoming ELinks 0.12.0. It is better if /etc/elinks/elinks.conf
contains only the settings that the sysadmin explicitly wants to
change from the defaults, and all the rest comes from the elinks
binary.
This is the mkdist to which doc/release.txt refers.
The script was originally written by Pasky and then modified by Fonseca.
This version doesn't know the correct directory names and so won't work
without modifications, but it seems better to check it in now than wait.
Files in the debian directory aren't being kept up to date.
(For example, debian/control declares a dependency on libgnutls11-dev
even though ELinks now requires at least 1.2, and debian/changelog
does not mention the 0.11.* releases.)
Until the files are up to date again and there is a commitment to keep
them so, they belong in contrib.
Document what happens if goto_url_hook or follow_url_hook returns None or "".
doc/events.txt already explains the corresponding C values.

The decision isn't up to me, but I think this is a good idea. Here's a
patch that would update the documentation and hooks.py, as well as hooks.c.
FYI, if this patch is applied then anyone who's still trying to use a
goto_url_hook that expects a second argument will get a "Browser scripting
error" dialog box that says:
An error occurred while running a Python script:
TypeError: goto_url_hook() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
Before this patch, init_python would crash trying to set up elinks.home
at the Python side. Now it uses None as the value in that case.
Also, init_python no longer adds "(null)" to $PYTHONPATH.
Instead of assigning the URI for the video to elinks.location, instead
create a <meta> tag to automatically load the video. This way, the video
will still be automatically loaded when the document is loaded from cache.
From the file:
Play videos at video.google.com with minimal niggling. Just follow
the link from the front page or the search page, and the video will
automatically be loaded.
Add preformat hook by Thomas Adam (as can be seen on his ELinks page at
http://edulinux.homeunix.org/elinks/) and spice up the hook descriptions
a bit.
Renames the following things:
ELinks.write() -> alert() or navigator.alert()
ELinks.version -> navigator.appVersion
ELinks.home -> navigator.appHome
The last one is not defined by the client-side javascript interface.
The root makefile is converted as well as some leaf Makefiles. This
also brings in the required infrastructure and adjusts configure.in
appropriately.
I converted only makefiles containing no configurable stuff, since
that'll require more consideration yet.
