Today on the elinks-dev mailing list, the new maintainer of the Debian
elinks package asked the debian directory to be removed from released
tarballs, because it makes the Debian diff hard to read. Also, the
files there are out of date.
When the debian directory was discussed in April 2007, people didn't
want it to be removed, so I instead moved it to contrib/debian in
ELinks 0.12.GIT (599cf3d91e).
And now I'm doing the same in 0.11.3.GIT.

ELinks for Debian
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
ELinks is a code fork of Links, the original character mode browser of
|
|
Mikulas Patocka. ELinks provides lots of new features over the original
|
|
Links codebase, and changes are more rapid. Some believes that Links is
|
|
more stable because of the few feature change. YMMW.

ELinks is a character mode world wide web browser. It supports colors,
|
|
correct table and frames rendering, international codepages and user
|
|
interfaces, background downloads, multiple connected instances, small and
|
|
fast.
|
|
|
|
ELinks supports password authentication (it works almost in every cases),
|
|
SSL, cookies, and bookmarks, and new features appear from time to time.
|
|
|
|
Please do not report that you cannot cut&paste with gpm - you can. Use
|
|
SHIFT+MOUSE together and it'll behave as without gpm.
|
|
|
|
Do not forget to setup after the first install: press F9, go to the Setup
|
|
menu, and set Linux console, default display character set and others. (An
|
|
example default config is provided in the examples directory.)
|
|
|
|
With the mailcap.pl you can convert the /etc/mailcap file to
|
|
elinks.conf format, and append to your config, until it gets supported. You
|
|
can find an example default config in the examples directory. (This is a
|
|
static suboptimal solution.) [this section is outdated as ELinks now uses a
|
|
different config format, I work on this.]

Some questions from bugreports:
|
|
===============================
|
|
Q: Where did the download manager/proxy settings/whatever disappear?
|
|
A: Please check the menus. Download manager is under Tools>Download, proxy
|
|
settings is at Setup>Options>Protocols>HTTP>Proxy>Host and port.
|
|
Familiarize yourself with the options manager. :-)
